In the year he moved to Berlin, where he wrote several plays, often autobiographical. However, despite the fact that he became the protrusion of Count George von Hulzen-Hesler, the artistic director of the Royal Theater, he never achieved success as a dramatic author.

He later developed the theory of man of the highest genius based on the works of Lanz von Libenfels; He saw himself in the tradition of Arthur Schopenhauer and the Angelus of Silez. Ekkart loved and identified himself with the “first Gunt” by Heinrich Ibsen, but never experienced a special sympathy for the scientific method. He was an occultist, was interested in German mythology and magic.

From for a year, he lived with his brother Wilhelm in the country colony of the New-Cheber near Berlin. In the city, he actively opposed the revolution of the year, which he considered inspired by Jews. The author of the poem "Jeurjo", the line from which is "Germany, wake up! Deutschland Erwache! Member of the Tula Society. In April, he was arrested by the Communists, along with Rudolf Gorshelben.

Only the resourcefulness of Eccard, manifested during interrogation, saved both of the fate of other hostages Tula. In August, Ekkart immediately recognized Hitler “The Future of the Party”, introduced him into a circle of acquaintances, among whom they spied the party's activities. One of the close friends who formed with him on "you." Hitler highly appreciated Ekcart's devotion, subsequently calling him a “teacher” and “polar star”; He appreciated the contribution of Eccard to the formation of the Nazi movement as "priceless." According to Hitler, Ekkart was "one of the best who devoted life to the awakening of our people with their creativity, thoughts and their own affairs." In March, Ekkart described the discovery that the Jews are the secret force that served as "the reason for the violation of the world historical order." According to Eccard, Hitler was the first to realize that the outcome of the Jews from Egypt occurred "in order to make a bloody revolutionary assault on the established order, and Moses was none other than the leader of Bolshevism." Hitler constantly used the ideas of Ekcarta in his performances.

The direct basis for this was the Miesbacher Haberfesttreiben pamphlet, in which Ebert was presented as a tool in the hands of Jews. Ekkart did not appear at the session of the Leipzig Court, which took place on March 12 of the year. As a result, a decree was issued to his arrest. At the end of April, it became clear that the Leipzig Criminal Police seriously took up the search for Eccard.

During the reign of the National Socialists in the territory of the Imperial Olympic Stadium, an open theater of Dietrich Ekcarta was built, which is currently called the Berlin Forest Theater.

Call the bells from the tower to the tower! Call so that sparks are pouring, a Jew came to win the Reich, call so that the soul is sophisticated with blood, fires, torment and dead reign everywhere. Call to the assault so that the earth romance on the roar of saving revenge, woe to the people who are in dreams today, Germany, wake up! Call men, old people, children, urge those who fell asleep to leave their rooms, urge the girls to go down the stairs, they should rattle and scream everywhere like wind, like a rampage itself, burying in the thunder of revenge, urge the dead to get out of graves, Germany, wake up!

Although Hitler himself dictated his text to the composer himself to the music, but for mass performance, this poem was not suitable as a song. A clear rhythm was needed, a simple text that would convey the basic ideas of “movement”, as Hitler wrote in “my struggle”, in the form of “an accurate, such a slogan of brevity ... In this case, it is necessary that every individual person fighting for a worldview has a complete idea and accurate knowledge about the latest ideas and the course of thoughts of the Fuhrer of movement.” Ekcart had difficulty with a clear rhythm, but the fact that his famous call “Germany, wake up!

The song became the anthem of the SA.
