"Soll die plattdeutsche Sprache gepflegt oder ausgerottet werden?" by Ludolf Wienbarg is an essay written in 1833. In this provocative work, Wienbarg argues that Low German should be eradicated to unite the German people under High German. He views the dialect as an obstacle to progress, claiming it lacks vocabulary and intellectual depth. Wienbarg controversially links language to cultural stagnation, suggesting that abandoning Low German would transform the entire Saxon way of life and thinking.
