so for my academic paper I have one book to cite from which is written by brothers (P. Hüwe & S. Hüwe). The citation style my university wants is for to authors to be diveded by a slash: (Hüwe/Hüwe 2019).
This citation stlye works, but unfortunatly not in this particular case where both authors share the same last name, because it also prints out their first names.
Here is my code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,maxcitenames=2,maxbibnames=99]{biblatex}
\DefineBibliographyStrings{ngerman}{
andothers = {{et\,al\adddot}},
}
\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{last-first}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
\begingroup
\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{/}
\renewcommand*{\multinamedelim}{/}
normal document text
\cite{Hüwe.2019} \\Doenst work
\cite{Yerpude.2019} \\works
\endgroup
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Anyone knows why this is?

last-firsthas been renamed and that the preferred form would be\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{family-given}.finalnamedelimandmultinamedelimare also context sensitive nowadays so that you shouldn't have to work with redefinitions in the document body and\begingroup...\endgroup. – moewe Jul 14 '19 at 13:15
