The origins of Kasper, along with his many counterparts, go
back hundreds of years.  The "Hohnsteiner" Kasper was born
in the 1920's in
Hohnstein, Germany in Saxony.  Max Jacob
created, in Hohnstein, a new look, style and, more importantly,
new
characters for his Kaspertheatre.  A more detailed history
of the Hohnsteiner Kasper can be found
here (written by Peter
Widenmeyer).
