Woyzeck Study Guide. Woyzeck is based on a true account of a poor man who was executed for stabbing his wife, Marie, to death. Buchner became fascinated with the case, so much so that he used it as inspiration for the play that would culminate his short literary career.
Woyzeck, dramatic fragment by Georg Büchner, written between 1835 and 1837; it was discovered and published posthumously in 1879 as Wozzek and first performed in 1913.
