Brecht’s Beginnings

Abstract

Almost every study (for example, Fassmann, Haas, Dort, Weideli) which has made use of the available material* —usually either too intensively or too superficially—says that Brecht first appeared in print, with both poetry and prose, during August, 1914, in a daily newspaper in his native city, the Augsburger Neuesten Nachrichten. Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht (which is his real name) or Bert(h)old Eugen as he signed his material at that time, was 16 years old, attended the Augsburg Realgymnasium, the “Blue Cap,” and there studied Latin with enthusiasm, French with distaste, and all other things with unmistakable indifference. He does not seem to have been a frequent source of pleasure to his teachers.

The effects of traces of molecular gases (H2, N2& O2) in glow discharges in noble gases
