| Stefan George - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (489 words) |
 | A group of writers that congregated around him were known as the Georgekreis (George circle). |
 | Stefan George left Germany and immigrated to Switzerland as the regime realized it could gain popularity by claiming George as a Nazi poet. |
 | Out of the Georgekreis arose Hugo von Hofmannsthal, one of Austria's most important literary modernists (who broke from George's influence), and also several members of the assassinate Hitler, including Claus von Stauffenberg himself. |
