Kleine deutsche Sprachlehre
by Hermann Bohm, Walter Steinert
About the author
Walter Steinert is a little-documented author whose known works point to a background in German philology and literary study. He is credited with Das Farbenempfinden Ludwig Tiecks, an inaugural dissertation published in 1907 at the University of Bonn, a study focused on color perception and the history of feeling for nature in German poetry.
He is also listed as co-author, with Hermann Bohm, of Kleine deutsche Sprachlehre, a compact German grammar that later became available through Project Gutenberg. Together, these works show two sides of his writing: practical language instruction and close, text-centered literary analysis.
Because biographical information about him is scarce in the sources available here, a fuller personal portrait is hard to confirm. What does come through clearly is a scholarly interest in how language works—both as a system to be learned and as an artistic medium shaped by nuance, imagery, and tone.
