Ernst Toller
Ernst Toller (born 1893 December 1 in Samotschin, Germany (now Szamocin, Poland) was a playwright, poet, pacifist, Expressionist, anarchist, Munich “Soviet†leader. His 1920 play Masseâ€Mensch (Man and the Masses, 1920) brings widespread fame.
A German Expressionist involved with other writers in forming an insurrectionary Bavarian “government†when the workers revolt. Anarchists are principal actors: Ehrich Mühsam, Gustav Landauer, Ernst Toller, Ret Marut (B. Traven), and others, fought for the development of Workersʼ Councils and selfâ€managed co-operatives.
Despite success as playwright and poet, Ernst Toller hangs himself in his Manhattan hotel room, convinced his plays are passé.
