The book follows a lawyer, who is also a father of three sons, as he embarks on a journey that intertwines the mundane aspects of civil service with the whimsical and often irrational realm of human emotions, epitomized by the titular German moon. The narrative explores themes related to sanity, the impact of nature on the human psyche, and the conflicts between prosaic duties and romantic ideals. The story unfolds on the island of Sylt, where the protagonist encounters Circuit Judge Löhnefinke, a man seemingly consumed by his fear of the moon. Through their interactions, Löhnefinke reveals his struggles with societal expectations and personal frustrations brought on by his poetic inclinations. As they navigate the moonlit landscape, they delve into the judge's past, discovering how he has become entangled in a web of inherited legacies and ideals that clash with his desires for self-expression. Ultimately, the novel serves as a reflection on the tension between reason and emotion, duty and passion, captured beautifully against the backdrop of the German moonlight.
