"In a German Pension" is a collection of short stories by Katherine Mansfield, a New Zealand writer and critic who was an important figure in the modernist movement and widely considered one of the greatest short story writers of all time. Focusing on the lives and interactions of a diverse group of guests staying at a German spa-town pension, where the narrative explores themes of social norms, cultural differences, and the complexities of human relationships.

First published in 1911, Katherine Mansfield's collection In a German Pension was inspired by her extended stay in a spa town in Bavaria in 1909, during which she suffered a miscarriage. The collection brought her instant fame and popularity as a short story writer, particularly as her amusing - though less than favourable - caricatures of the Germans were very popular at that time.
