Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Ludwig Ganghofer (July 7, 1855 - July 24, 1920) was a German writer who became famous for his homeland novels. Born in Kaufbeuren, he graduated from a gymnasium in 1873 and subsequently worked as a fitter in Augsburg engine works. In 1875, he entered Munich Polytechnic as a student of mechanical engineering, but eventually changed his major to history of literature and philosophy, which subjects he studied in Munich, Berlin and Leipzig.
