Theater am Frankfurter Tor: If your watch lights up at night... Alfred Henschke called Klabund

I am twenty-seven years old as I write this. But I could also write: three years old, or: fifty thousand. I come from somewhere in the Mark. I am a Prussian. And my colors, which you know, are black and white. Black is the night, and white is the day. I am day and night.
Whoever wants to accompany me for an hour shall be welcome.
Small self-biography by Alfred Henschke called Klabund

Born in Crossen an der Oder in 1890, died in 1928, Alfred Henschke - known as KLABUND - was one of the leading German writers of his time.
Friends included Frank Wedekind and Gottfried Benn, Brecht used Klabund's "Kreidekreis" as a model for his interpretation, and he was acquainted with Bloch and Hesse.
The cabaret "Schall und Rauch" became his artistic home.
