The Frankfurt dialect poet and satirist Friedrich Stoltze is entirely at the center of this program, which is presented in a "doomsday version." Problems and fears were already driving people crazy 160 years ago. Stoltze reacted to them in his very own way - with a "Weltuntergangszeitung. Letzter Jahrgang!" and a "Sonnenstichzeitung für das untergehende Deutschland," in which we can find many parallels to today's Corona crisis.
Stoltze was a very versatile artist and can thus be discovered again and again in a completely new way: He was the funniest and most rebellious Frankfurt poet, the humorous observer of the old Frankfurt world, the political journalist wanted by the police, with a work between rebellion and Biedermeier!
Michael Quast brings this unique poet to life in his program, recites poems and turns stories into small radio plays. This is Stoltze all new and clearly also: Stoltze for all!
