Albert Ehrismann (1908–1998) was a Swiss writer and poet who first debuted in 1930 with the collection 'Lächeln auf dem Asphalt'. Born into modest circumstances in Zürich, he worked as an accountant before turning to literature. His work is characterized by its lyrical depth and diverse literary forms, including poetry, plays, radio plays, and essays. He was a regular contributor to satirical magazines like 'Nebelspalter', where his politically left-leaning heart often influenced his commentary on current events. Ehrismann received significant recognition for his contributions to Swiss literature, notably winning the Conrad-Ferdinand-Meyer-Preis in 1940 and the Literature Prize of the City of Zürich in 1978.[1,2]
