- Abstract
„Drohung“ („Threat“) is one of the most famous love poems of Gottfried Benn. The German poet published it originally in 1913 in the influential left-wing journal Die Aktion. After World War I the young avant-garde writer became more and more conservative, and by 1933 he sympathized with Hitler. This essay reconstructs the forgotten context of Benn's early publications and his close friendship with Else Lasker-Schüler as well as other Jewish intellectuals and key figures in the Expressionist movement to analyse the consequences and personal problems of his engagement with National Socialism.
