About the author
Adolf Knoblauch was a German writer and translator who lived from 1882 to 1951. Reference sources identify him simply and clearly as a writer and translator, and record Berlin as his place of death.
He is closely associated with the Expressionist scene around Herwarth Walden. The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart notes that he belonged to Walden’s circle from 1914 to 1918, placing him in one of the key artistic networks of the period.
His early poetry collection Kreis des Anfangs was published by Der Sturm in Berlin in 1916, and other surviving works include Die schwarze Fahne and Dada. Taken together, these titles show a writer active in the experimental literary culture of his time, with one foot in poetry and another in the broader avant-garde world.
