| Summary |
"Deutsche Charaktere und Begebenheiten" by Jakob Wassermann is a historical account written in the early 20th century.

Intended to resonate with the national sentiment during a period marked by the First World War, it seeks to evoke memories of Germany's historical figures and their impact on the national character. The opening of the book introduces its purpose and structure, suggesting a deep exploration of what defines a "German character" through the lens of history. Wassermann reflects on the essence of these figures and events, emphasizing the importance of their roles in shaping the nation's identity amidst the backdrop of war.
