“That’s Ludwig. He writes great poems.” With these words, director Oskar Roehler recalls, his father Klaus introduced him to a young writer who was out of the ordinary. Not an intellectual bourgeois son from high school with the appropriate attitude, but an outwardly deranged unskilled worker from a precarious family background who also wrote poetry. At the kitchen table, on the commuter train, in the pub. It was the early 1970s and German society was in the midst of upheaval. In the cities. In the country, on the other hand, the old musty order persisted for a long time. The son of a poor cleaning lady, who grew up without a father, with his aborted apprenticeship as a painter and his “tear-up” friends from the settlement of “Displaced Persons” could still be so talented in literature, but he still counted for nothing.
