Martin Andersen Nexö

Untersee left only faint traces in his work. The Allensbach climate was unsuitable for writing poetry, he wrote in his memoir novel “Morten der Rote” (1954): It was too conducive to laziness. Nexö's collaboration with the Constance publisher Oskar Wöhrle and a denied entry to Italy kept him at Untersee from 1925 to 1930. A memorial plaque at Brunnengasse 7 commemorates the writer and is one of the locations of the literary cycle path on Untersee (Literaturland Baden-Württemberg) “Per Pedal zur Poesie” (By pedal to poetry)
