Svendborger Gedichte

Brechts Hus, Skovsbostrand 8, Svendborg, Denmark. Brecht assembled the Svendborger Gedichte, as the title page says, 'refuged beneath this Danish thatched roof'.

Svendborger Gedichte ('Svendborg Poems') is a poetry collection by the German poet and playwright Bertolt Brecht, and the last collection of new poems to be published while he lived. The collection is named after the town of Svendborg on the Danish island of Funen, where Brecht lived during his exile from Nazi Germany. During this period, Hanns Eisler stayed several times to set a large group of the poems to music in collaboration with Brecht.
