Dr. Katzenbergers Badereise (lit. 'Dr. Katzenberger's Bathing Trip') is a novel by the German writer Jean Paul. It takes place in the spa town of Bad Maulbronn and follows the intrigues of a professor who goes there to confront a physician who has given his books negative reviews, the professor's daughter, a poet who travels with them and is attracted to the daughter, and a young Prussian military writer who becomes the poet's rival.[1][2][3]
The novel was written in 1807–1808 and first published by Mohr und Zimmer in Heidelberg in 1809, but only became popular with a revised and expanded version published in Breslau in 1822.[4]
It was the basis for the 1978 television film Dr. Katzenbergers Badereise directed by Gerd Winkler for ZDF.[5]
