As part of the series "Classics of World Literature," Tilman Spengler presents important writers and authors from all eras to culturally interested viewers. In one of the short segments—each lasting a quarter of an hour—Heinrich von Kleist (1777–1811) is featured, whose comedy "The Broken Jug" is perhaps his best-known literary work.

You can find out more about the life and work of this author, who is honored here with a monument, via the following link to the ARD Mediathek: ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/heinrich-von-kleist-der-zerbrochne-krug/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL2Jyb2FkY2FzdC9GMjAxN1dPMDA4NjY1QTA
