Klaus Briegleb

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klaus Briegleb (born January 21, 1932 in Peilau , Reichenbach district , Lower Silesia province ) is a German literary historian. He is professor emeritus at the University of Hamburg and editor of the "Complete Writings" of Heinrich Heines (Hanser Verlag, 1968–1976).

Life

Klaus Briegleb in 1962 at the University of Munich with a dissertation on Friedrich Schlegel doctorate and his habilitation in 1970 with a thesis on Gotthold Ephraim Lessing . In 1972 he became a full professor in Hamburg. He is a member of the PEN Center Germany . Briegleb is one of the most important Heine researchers and editor of the annotated Hanser edition of Heinrich Heine's Complete Writings (1968–1976), the most widespread Heine edition of the present. In his monograph At the Waters of Babels. Heinrich Heine, Jewish writer in the modern age, describes Heine as a genuinely Jewish writer in the diaspora, indeed as a “modern Marran”, ie as a “baptized person who remains Jewish at heart.” His approach to interpretation that all Heine's texts in “Marranischer Spelling “is controversial in the professional world.

Briegleb works on German literature after 1945, political philology and anti-authoritarian literature ( May 68 ).

With his book Disregard and Taboo. A pamphlet on the question, "How anti-Semitic was Group 47?" (2003) broke the conventional image of Group 47 and initiated an intense debate and ongoing research on Group 47's attitude towards its Jewish members. The focus is on "the continuity of anti-Semitic views and speeches of members of the group"

After his retirement, Briegleb staged collages of classics (Heine, Goethe ) he had developed at various venues .

In December 2017, the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported on a private correspondence in the 1960s between Briegleb and the former, long-time head of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) Reinhard Gehlen , in which Briegleb thanked Gehlen for a one-off financial contribution for the publication of Briegleb's dissertation. Briegleb pointed out on his personal website that the background was not political, but exclusively familial, and criticized one tenor of the SZ article, which - deliberately misunderstanding the situation - Gehlen's contribution to printing costs to the young doctoral student Briegleb as strange and worthy of criticism represent.
