Felix Schloemp

Born in 1880 and dying in 1916, Felix Schloemp was a German author whose work belongs to the literary world of the years just before and during the First World War. Surviving records of his publications show that he wrote comic and satirical pieces, including Der tolle Koffer and Liebe und Trompetenblasen.

The available evidence also connects him with the Munich publisher Georg Müller, and one edition of Der tolle Koffer notes a contribution by Frank Wedekind and illustrations by Emil Preetorius. These details place Schloemp in a creative circle that mixed literature, theater, and visual art.

Not much biographical information appears to be easily available today, but his book titles and publication history point to a writer with a taste for absurdity, wit, and provocation. For listeners who enjoy rediscovered voices from the early 1900s, Schloemp offers a small but intriguing glimpse into German humor of that era.
