after Wilhelm Jacoby and Carl Laufs
Germany, how it spins and laughs. "Pension Schöller" is a masterpiece of bullshit. The big landowner Philipp Klapproth wants to experience something and leaves his country estate in the province for Berlin. However, his aim is not the gallant adventures, but he wants to meet real madmen in a real mental institution.

His nephew, hoping for money from him, fulfils his wish with a lie. He takes him to the Pension Schöller. The alleged lunatic asylum is in reality, however, a normal pension, with admittedly some bizarre guests: an aged Major a. D., a big game hunter, a writer and the nephew of the pension director, who wants to become an actor despite a small linguistic error. For Uncle Klapproth, these are all authentically crazy people. At first he rejoices in a childish way, but soon the horror grips him. In the end, the big landowner himself is on the verge of madness.
The "Pension Schöller", written in 1890, deals not only with the Klamauk but also with the bourgeois humus, in which German omnipotence fantasies could flourish perfectly. Then it's over very quickly with the superficial sausageiness and the supposedly harmless comedy turns out to be an abysmal, grotesque soul game.
