!!Examples:
* {{Adventure}}: In fact, the first adventure novel written in the German language.
* CloudCuckoolander: Simplicius meets a man who thinks he was the Roman god Jupiter who decided to come to Germany and promises to help the country with its problems. However, he isn't even able to catch his own fleas.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Simplicius.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Simplicius doesn't know his own name, or whether he has one, because his parents always call him "Bub" (boy). He also doesn't know the real names of his parents; in fact, he doesn't even know the standard German words for "father" and "mother", because he only speaks the local dialect.
* FishOutOfTheWater: Simplicius, having lived for years with the hermit, doesn't know much about the world. But he learns.
* InnocentInaccurate: The scene where Simplicius' home is plundered has this, since he doesn't understand things like rape and torture yet.
* LongTitle: The full title used was "Der abentheuerliche Simplicissimus Teutsch / Das ist: Die Beschreibung deß Lebens eines seltzamen Vaganten / genant Melchior Sternfels von Fuchshaim / wo und welcher gestalt Er nemlich in diese Welt kommen / was er darinn gesehen / gelernet / erfahren und außgestanden / auch warumb er solche wieder freywillig quittirt." Yes, that's truly baroque.
* {{Mentors}}: After his parents get killed in the war, young Simplicissimus gets adopted by a pious hermit, who also gives him his name.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: At the beginning, our protagonist plays on his bagpipe (yes, they existed not only in Scotland), which some marauding soldiers hear; they attack the poor house of his father, rape and torture the people, and steal and destroy everything. He barely escapes unscathed.
* {{Picaresque}}
* PrivateMilitaryContractors: A lot of them. Our protagonist also becomes one, for some time.
* SignificantAnagram: Melchior Sternfels von Fuchshaim, which is an anagram of Grimmelshausen's full name. He liked to do this - in his life, he also used the pseudonyms German Schleifheim von Sulsfort, Samuel Greifnson vom Hirschfeld, Philarchus von Trommenheim, Erich Stainfels von Grufenholm, Simon Leugfrisch von Hartenfels, Israel Fromschmidt von Hugenfelß and Michael Rechulin von Sehmsdorff.
* {{Squick}}: The Swedish soldiers who plunder our protagonist's home force a man to drink a whole bucket of slurry, which they call a "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwedentrunk Swedish drink]]".
* ThirtyYearsWar
* TickleTorture: Simplicius' father is bound by the Swedish soldiers, who make a goat lick his soles, until he confesses where he has hidden his riches. Simplicius doesn't understand the whole situation.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: There is at least one adaptation of the novel explicitly made for kids.
* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: At the beginning, he wanted to become a hermit like his adoptive father, but during the book, he works as: Soldier, page, jester/fool, opera singer, gigolo, robber, quack doctor, researcher and galley slave.
