Authors  &  Artists  of  Germany  Pages
and also Austria & Switzerland

While working back and forth on these many webpages, items kept appearing for authors of other countries, with nowhere to cross-reference them.
Thus a page for British authors was created in Spring 2012, a page for French authors was created in early 2013, and a page for Russian authors was created
in February 2019. This page for German authors was created in February 2020 and serves two intentions: to pay homage to the many German writers &
poets & playwrights who have influenced American literature and-or American life during the past 200-plus years, and also to the many German authors who
provided source material for so many major Hollywood feature films.

http://www.zeitreisen.de/kaestner/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_K%C3%A4stner_Museum The Erich Kästner Museum is in Dresden, Germany

Author & playwright Erich Kästner is most famous for the "Emil and The Detectives" [1929 novel] and the sequel "Emil and The Three Twins" [1934 novel]
and also "Das Doppelte Lottchen" [1949 novel], which is the basis for Disney's "The Parent Trap" films, 1961-2020.

Nine feature films have been produced from the Emil/Detectives stories, from 1931 to 2001;
two TV shows were produced in 1952 & 1963, and three stageplays in 1934 & 2013.

The claim of a connection with either "Emil & The Detectives" or author Erich Kästner is tenuous at best.
