Marriage in Philippsburg (German: Ehen in Philippsburg), also published in English as The Gadarene Club, is the debut novel of the German writer Martin Walser, published in 1957.

[1][2] The young man Hans Beumann leaves the countryside to try his luck in the city of Philippsburg (a fictionalized version of Stuttgart).

[1] Der Spiegel said Walser describes the phrases and power struggles of contemporary careerists "with sincere astonishment, but without reformatory zeal", exhibiting a "fair, albeit resigned disaffection".

[3] The novel was awarded the Hermann-Hesse-Literaturpreis.

[1] Stephan Kimmig wrote a play based on the novel that premiered at the Schauspiel Stuttgart in 2017.
