Abstract: 
Serving the Forgotten Man is a novella set in Germany during the 1880’s, the transitional time between the formation of the German Empire and the end of the reign of the Hohenzollern family. Ending in 1888, “Serving the Forgotten Man” opens a window into the life of Friedrich III, the forgotten Emperor of Germany, through the loving eyes of his devoted servant, Diethelm. The drama, life, and politics of Germany are revealed by following Diethelm in his routine.
