The majority of the songs, based on texts by Kurt Tucholsky (1890–1935), were written in the second half of the 1950s. The inspiration for the composition came from Eisler's friend and congenial interpreter, the actor and singer Ernst Busch. Eisler composed almost all of his 40 Tucholsky settings for him, writing only the songs Die Nachfolgerin and Deutsches Lied for Gisela May.
Hanns Eisler comments on these texts in his own way, that is: with musical means. With “refinement [and] musical intelligence”, he strikes exactly the right note, from the brisk couplet to the meditative song.
