Politically active, Georg Hermann was also a member of the Central-Verein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens.Having become known for his pacifist tendencies through his writing, and because of his Jewish heritage, Georg Hermann and his family fled to Holland shortly after the burning of the Reichstag in 1933. Although the rest of his family was saved from the Nazis after their occupation of Holland in 1943, Georg Hermann was sent to the Dutch concentration camp of Westerbork.

A study of Georg Hermann's pre-First World War novels with a special reference to the presentation of the city of Berlin.
No full textPhDThe method of analysis employed in this thesis includes the comparative study of
Hermann's novels with contemporary aesthetic and sociological writings as well as with
works by other contemporary writers and visual artists. This approach places Hermann's
pre-First World War novels in a cultural historical context and helps to re-establish
Hermann as a writer whose works mirror in a representative way the developments of
turn-of-the-century aesthetics and of the contemporary depiction of Berlin.
For each novel in turn, I first show how Hermann adapts the formal aspects of his
writing to the thematic concern at hand: experimenting with the aesthetic principles of
Naturalism in the autobiographical Spielkinder (1897); with Realism in the tradition of
Fontane in the Biedermeier `Doppelroman' Jettchen Geberts Geschichte (Jettchen
Gebert (1906) and Henriette Jacoby (1908)); and with Impressionism in Kubinke
(1910); until, in Die Nacht des Doktor Herzfeld (1912), he largely abandons the
presentation of a plot-based narrative in favour of the Modernist concept of the novel as
reflecting the hero's consciousness.
The second strand of analysis for each novel follows the development of Hermann's
representations of the emerging metropolis of Berlin from 1897 to 1912. The detailed
description of physical and social reality is, over the years, increasingly complemented
by the depiction of atmosphere and by analysis of the new metropolitan society. A
critical attitude to the modem aspects of the city is expressed through direct social
criticism in Spielkinder and, in a less pronounced form, by the nostalgic mood of the
Jettchen novels. However, in the two following novels this makes way for a nonjudgemental
depiction of city society, expressed in a detached, aestheticising panorama
of the city (Kubinke) and in a psychological analysis of the metropolitan person's
mental make-up (Die Nacht des Doktor Herzfeld)
