The author of the code must like German. He used "Matz" as a parameter, a German name, and klass = class in German.

Matz is short for Yukihiro Matsumoto, the creator of Ruby.

Matz is neither a common german name (I've never encountered it) nor is class "klass" in german. It's "Klasse". Maybe you just missed out an "e" on the name aswell? There is "Matze" which would be a short version of "Mathias".
