The series offers a sharp and often provocative portrayal of social and political life in Weimar Republic Germany, satirising the bourgeoisie, militarism, political corruption, social inequality and sexual morality. The original publication led to Grosz being prosecuted in 1923 for alleged offences against public decency; a number of works were seized and destroyed. (AI-generated content description)
