"Heimat (play) Heimat (“Home”; 1893) is a play by the German dramatist Hermann Sudermann. The play, either in the original German or in translations, was commonly also known as Magda, the name of the heroine. It was thought by some to be the most widely known and the most successful drama of the end of the 19th century.

He notes that, in this regard,"

In such later plays as ""Hedda Gabler"" (1890) and ""The Master Builder"" (1892), Ibsen explored psychological conflicts that transcended a simple rejection of current"
