Abstract This paper puts forward the thesis that the social image of the early federal republic of Germany displayed in Loriot’s œuvre is mainly characterized by this society’s inability to understand each other or it’s own traditions and art. Loriot’s work thus provides a skeptical point of view towards the process of modernization Germany has passed through from the 19 th to the 20 th century.
