In 1871 the states of Germany unified.
Speaking different germanic languages they needed a all understood media,
So that a Bavarian could read a Berlin paper.
So that a Wurtemberg student san study at a Hamburg university.
And later Radio ,theatre , books , parliament.
So they created an artificial language Hochdeutsh.
But how did Schiller and Goethe write in a language I can understand
much before that?
