Question for you gerfags out there. I want to read the divine comedy but I don't know which German translation is the best, any recommendations?
Anyone?

reclam

Go for Reclam, if you don't mind the small fontsize
Additionally I recommend getting Berthold Wiese's Kommentar zu Dantes Göttlicher Komödie

Is the reclam version the one which is translated by Karl Witte?

It depends, are you familiar with the subject (i.e. do you need annotations)?
Do you plan to learn German with it, if yes, do you prefer a rather contemporary German or would you like a more classical tone?
Do you care about the verse metre at all?

German is my mother tongue. I'd like to have a translation that is the closest to the original in terms of (most importantly) the meaning and (also important but not really all that necessary) the verse metre. I don't really want annotations but it would be nice to have them.
