Abstract

This thesis deals with the aussenseiter-characters in Westgerman novels of the 1950s. After a discussion of the notion of Aussenseitertum (marginalization), three key novels of the 1950s are examined: Wolfgang Koeppen's "Der Tod in Rom", Martin Walser's "Ehen in Philippsburg", and Heinrich Böll's "Billard um halb zehn". The thesis yields a concise overview about the different Aussenseiter-characters employed in the novels.
