Abstract
Literature as one of the oldest media has been used since then as a means to amuse the
readership and to deal with current social problems and situations. The results of such a
function are literary works that usually deal critically with current problems. Such a work is
also Walter Flex ' Der Wandere zwischen beiden Welten (eng. The Wanderer between the two
worlds), in which the First World War is presented in a partly realistic way. Such a
presentation and description of the mindsets and emotional worlds of the main characters
contribute to the political use of the work in the purpose of the promotion and popularization
of the First World War, as part of German national ideology and later also of the Second
World War.
In this diploma thesis, the role and function of this work in the popularization of the war is
dealt with, as well as the most important motives, such as heroic cult, camaraderie, the
suffering of soldiers and their families, etc. In a critical discourse, the various elements of the
work are analyzed and dealt with in the context of social and political situations at that time.
In this way, the significance of the work for the development of the state of war and society is
presented. In addition, several modern interpretations from the end of the 20th and beginning
of the 21st century are briefly presented, in order to refer in this way to the differences
between the contemporary, war-influenced, and present, modern interpretations.
