German writers
Goethe's literary compatriots
Writers from Germany or who write in German.
The phrase appears in literary discussions, academic contexts, and book classifications: German writers dominated European philosophy in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Notable examples span from Goethe and Schiller to Kafka, Mann, and Hesse—though some, like Kafka, wrote in German while living outside Germany proper.
