Rheinsberg: A Storybook for Lovers
"Rheinsberg" tells the sweet tale of an unmarried Berlin couple who head out for a weekend holiday, with sex on the agenda, to Rheinsberg and its castle, once the home of Frederick the Great. Nothing much happens. The lovers talk and walk and, at one point, watch a film on a cinematograph. Their free and easy way with each other, and the casual treatment of sex, wafted over younger readers like a fresh breeze. (...) In Weimar Germany, Tucholsky was big, the most brilliant, prolific and witty cultural journalist of his time.
