description: "Jakob van Hoddis was the pen name of the Jewish German expressionist poet Hans Davidsohn, of which \"Van Hoddis\" is an anagram. His most famous poem Weltende, published on 11 January 1911 in the Der Demokrat magazine, is generally regarded as ushering in the Expressionist style of poetry and inspired many other poets to write in a similarly grotesque style; he is also seen as perhaps the only German predecessor of surrealism."
