Walser's "Reisebericht" can been read as a very concrete and exact description of a walk from Bellelay in the Swiss Jura mountains through Solothurn to Biel. The article confronts this locally highly specific readability with the text's depiction of a global or planetary journey through a "purely worldly" land, also stylized as a journey of artistic production. Special attention is being paid to differences between the first version of the piece ("Reisebeschreibung") and the context of its journal publication in 1915 and the book version of "Reisebericht" from 1919/20; differences which bear on the artistic reworking of connotations resonating World War I and on a poetics of universal nature which counteracts a rhetoric of patriotism, violence and disintegration.
