Moritz Rinke
Moritz Rinke (born August 16, 1967 in Worpswede near Bremen ) is a German playwright and novelist living in Berlin .
Life
After attending the Ottersberg Waldorf School in Gießen, Rinke studied applied theater studies with Andrzej Wirth and then worked for newspapers such as the Süddeutsche Zeitung , Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , Die Zeit and Theater heute . As an editor at the Berliner Zeitung Der Tagesspiegel, he received the Axel Springer Prize twice , once for his report Ein Tag mit Marlene and the other for a report on the Love Parade in 1997. His stories and columns appeared in 2001 in Der Blauwal im Cherry orchard . In 1995 his first play was published with The Gray Angel , which was premiered the following year at the Schauspielhaus Zurich . His play Republic Vineta was voted the best German-language play in 2001 and filmed in 2006. Republic of Vineta was published individually by rororo and in the collection Trilogy of the Lost , which also contains The Man Who Has Never Discovered A Woman's Nakedness , men and women and interviews. Rinke wrote Die Nibelungen for the Nibelungen Festival in Worms as a timely new version of the Nibelungenlied , which was performed there in front of the south portal of the cathedral in 2002 and 2003 and in another new version, which was performed in two parts in 2006, 2007 and 2008 in front of the north portal.
Rinke was invited to the Cannes International Film Festival in 2003 with his first film ( September , director: Max Färberböck ), in which he also made his debut as an actor. In 2008, ZDF and ARTE broadcast a film with and about Moritz Rinke entitled My Life - Moritz Rinke .
His first novel, which he worked on for four years, was published in 2010 under the title The Man Who Fallen Through the Century and has autobiographical features. It takes place in Rinke's birthplace, the Worpswede artists' colony , and ironically deals with the Nazi past of the place and how it came to terms with it. The book was on the bestseller list for weeks.
