«Goethe und die Schrebergärtner» is a collection of stories and poems by Erich Kästner, published by Atrium Verlag in hardback (176 pages, in German).
It brings together stories and poems by Erich Kästner about provincial Germany: life in the Schreber gardens, the quirks of the Saxon character, the relationship between the Schrebergärtner and Goethe, and other curiosities and absurdities. Kästner combines the idyllic and melancholic gaze with irony, satire and social criticism.
