It's undoubtly a reference to prince Siddharta from Sakyamuni, the One who became Buddha.
Although he was born in Germany, Hermann Hesse move to the Canton of Ticino, Switzerland after World War I. It was here, in 1922, that he wrote his novella Siddhartha which was itself set in India.
Siddhartha and Gotama is the same person.i suspect you're confusing the (beautiful) fictional book Siddhartha by Herman Hesse with an historical account...
Herman Hesse's novel "Siddhartha' is a fictional account of a young man as he travels to join a group of ascetics during the time of Siddhartha Gautama . Ok just wondering if it was referring to the actual Siddhartha Gautema- the founder of Buddhism... wasn't sure.

I believe that the author is HERMANN HESSE. yeah that's the name. Hermann Hesse.
No, "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse was originally written in German and has not been translated into Sanskrit, as Sanskrit is not commonly used for contemporary literature translations. However, it has been translated into many other languages.
Because during his life time he has many split difference personalities and he wrote this book interested on the buddist ways. When he traveled to India he recently met some buddist.
These were written by the German author Hermann Hesse.
