Recs if you like Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder. Eine Chronik aus dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg...

Works I would consider german literary classics. "German" in this context means "written in German", not "written by a German author", therefore Swiss, Austrian, and other authors will also be included on this list, provided they wrote their works in German.

all the classics you might (have had to) read in school in Germany

From whacky to worrisome, a small collection of family dynamics that make yours seem normal. (Languages: German and English and maybe some more)
