This paper compares two versions of one of the most influential 18th century German texts, namely Goethe’s  Leiden des jungen Werthers , the 1774 first print edition and the 1787 work edition, with respect to the presence or absence of final schwa. Written Early New High German and older New High German characteristically show variation on this point: while final schwa disappeared in many of the German dialects, it was reintroduced in written texts in many cases. In this paper a detailed discussion on the factors favoring or disfavoring final schwa in the two versions of the text is provided. It turns out that fina^l schwa is missing in many cases in the first print edition from 1774, but is present in the 1787 edition. However, the new schwas are introduced only in certain morphological contexts, while in others, schwa is less frequent in the later edition. In many respects the 1787 version corresponds to the forms and norms suggested by the influential contemporary stylist and grammarian Johann Christoph Adelung.
