Oskar Maria Graf is probably the best-known poet in the region around Lake Starnberg. His birthplace, Berg, directly on the lake, and his family were an important starting point for his work. Despite his attachment to his origins, Graf was more than a writer of his homeland. He felt connected to a network of independent artists and socialist activists. He was an unbending anti-fascist throughout his life. He paid for his early and vehement dissociation from National Socialism with the loss of his homeland. He went into exile and only returned to Germany as a visitor a quarter of a century later. He remained in New York until the end of his life and saw himself as a Bavarian in the world.
