The Soldiers (German: Die Soldaten) is a 1776 tragedy by Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz written from his own experiences during his service under Friedrich Graf Kleist von Nollendorf.^[1][a] It was influential on Georg Büchner in his attempt to write the drama Woyzeck (left incomplete 1837), although that is set at a lower social stratum. The play is the source of two operas: Soldaten by Manfred Gurlitt (1930) and Die Soldaten by Bernd Alois Zimmermann (1965).
