This thesis analyses Thomas Bernhard's partially autobiographical but at the same time critical works on society as well as on contemporary issues. The mendacity of the Austrian society and the related catastrophical consequences of it for the intellectual individual forms the central theme. The inability of the Austrian people to overcome their past is above all concentrated on. In the year 1988, the commemorative year of the fifty years since Austrian Annexation with Nazi-Germany, Bernhard made with Heldenplatz an essential contribution to the positive incorporation of history. / The careful study of Bernhard's works with particular references made to Beton and Heldenplatz, demonstrates his recognition of the symptoms of the neurotic behaviour of the Austrians.
