In the work of Hauptmann, the "Poet of compassion", the mentally ill, doctors and psychiatric institutions play a special role in the context of social criticism concerning human suffering. The charisma of August Forel and the impressions of atmosphere at the Zurich Burghölzli must already have had a formative effect on Hauptmann in 1888. The Leubus Institution (Silesia), the provincial psychiatric hospital in Stralsund and the psychiatric hospital in Dalldorf/Berlin are further backdrops for Hauptmann's encounters with the psychologically abnormal and his almost characteristic affinity for borderline psychological situations in his books.
在“同情诗人”豪普特曼的作品中，精神病患者、医生和精神病院在关于人类苦难的社会批评语境中扮演着特殊角色。1888年，奥古斯特·福雷尔的个人魅力以及苏黎世布尔格霍兹利医院的氛围一定已对豪普特曼产生了决定性影响。勒布斯疗养院（西里西亚）、施特拉尔松德的省立精神病院以及达勒多夫/柏林的精神病院是豪普特曼接触心理异常者以及他在书中对边缘心理状况几乎特有的亲近感的更多背景。
