Ulla Hahn (2004)

Ulla Hahn (born April 30, 1945 in Brachthausen , today Kirchhundem in the Sauerland ) is a German writer . She is considered one of the most important contemporary poets.

Life

Ulla Hahn grew up with her brother in Monheim am Rhein . After completing secondary school and training as an office clerk , Hahn caught up with her Abitur in 1964. She then studied German , sociology and history at the University of Cologne . In 1978, she was with the dissertation The trends in the West German and socialist literature of the sixties to Dr. phil. PhD. Hahn worked as a journalist - among other things in the literature department of Radio Bremen - and from 1978 as a lecturer at the universities of Bremen , Hamburg and Oldenburg . At times she was a member of the German Communist Party .

After Hahn had published his first poems in the early 1970s, Marcel Reich-Ranicki campaigned for her works in the run-up to the Frankfurt Book Fair in 1981. The volume of poetry Herz über Kopf became a bestseller , and by 1983 had a circulation of 18,000 copies. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung later paid tribute to the writer's “artistic furiosity in playing with literary tradition”, while Die Zeit complained about “too obvious creative drive”. As a scholarship holder of the Villa Massimo , she worked on her second volume, Spielende . In the following years Hahn published Freudenfeuer and Unheard-of proximity , with the latter volume in particular receiving mixed reviews from the critics. In 1991 she presented her first novel A Man in the House , which was largely rejected by criticism.

Hahn then returned to poetry and only published her second novel ten years later with the title Das Verborgene Wort . This was judged positively by many observers, including the Neue Zürcher Zeitung attested to the author's "great narrative talent". In contrast, Marcel Reich-Ranicki criticized the work in the Literary Quartet , which Hahn judged as a "hate speech" and "obvious attempt at annihilation". The plot of the novel revolves around a girl who escapes from the confines of her parents' home into the world of literature. Here, as in the sequels Aufbruch und Spiel der Zeit , autobiographical traits can be recognized. The novel cycle was completed with the book We Are Expected in 2017 .

Hahn has been a member of the Free Academy of the Arts Hamburg and the PEN Center Germany since 1987 . She signed the so-called “Appeal of 33”, which was launched by EMMA magazine after the 2005 Bundestag election and called for the election results to be dealt with fairly. The Ulla Hahn Author Award of the city of Monheim am Rhein, which has been awarded every two years since 2012, is named after Hahn . In 2013 the Ulla Hahn House was opened in her parents' house, which is dedicated to child and youth culture with a focus on language and reading promotion.

Hahn lives in Hamburg and is married to Klaus von Dohnanyi .
