Summary/Abstract: This study is devoted to the mediators - translators, philologists, publishers, writers - thanks to which was carried out the transfer of the Tragedy of the man of Imre Madách in the Germanic cultural sphere of 1862 to 1892. This period was particularly fruitful to two points of view. On the one hand, it saw the birth of seven translations, as well as a dozen reviews and reviews. Those published between 1888 and 1892 were intended to prepare the public for the upcoming appearance of Tragedy on German stages. On the other hand, many personalities for the German-speaking intelligentsia have made eulogistic statements about the Hungarian drama, while others have even recaptured this foreign masterpiece by drawing inspiration from him.
