[Tex/LaTex] How to get proper German hyphenation

Question

Code:

\documentclass[paper=3.5cm:5cm]{scrbook}
\usepackage{german}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
Andere übertragen das am besten den Geschwistern.
\end{document}

Output:

Hyphenation for these standard German words is incorrect. I know that we can
specify hyphenation manually, e.g. übertra\-gen, but that makes source code
less readable, and it would be tedious for an entire book.

How do I tell LaTeX to use proper hyphenation?

Desired hyphenation is for a German text authored between 1914 and 1918.

Answer 1

The german package is obsolete. You should instead load

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Example, where \parbox{0pt} is used to force TeX to hyphenate as much as possible.

\documentclass[]{scrbook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[german]{babel}

\begin{document}

\parbox{0pt}{\hspace{0pt}Andere übertragen das am besten den Geschwistern.}

\end{document}
