Despite the use of French and German for administrative purposes, it was Lëtzebuerger Däitsch, now known as Luxembourgish, which was behind the development of Luxembourg's literature in the 19th century, contributing much to the consolidation of the national identity. An important literary figure in the early 20th century was Nikolaus Welter (1871–1951), who addressed Luxembourg issues in his German-language plays including Die Söhne des Öslings (1904) and as a poet in Hochofen (1913). ^ Lentz, Michel (Méchel)", Luxemburger Lexikon, Editions Guy Binsfeld, Luxembourg, 2006(in German) ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4725.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4725.txt
