Life

Agnieszka Lessmann grew up in Poland, Israel and Germany. During her studies of German, theater, film and television studies and Italian studies in Cologne, she was a member of the Cologne authors' workshop . At the same time, she began to work as a radio play and feature writer and culture journalist for various radio companies (including Radio Bremen , Bayerischer Rundfunk , WDR , SWR , DLF ) and daily newspapers (including Süddeutsche Zeitung, Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). She wrote her master's thesis on the radio play prize for the war blind . From January 2001 to December 2009 she wrote and produced the “ radio play calendar ” for Deutschlandfunk together with Frank Olbert . Lessmann has been a member of the PEN Center Germany since 2017 . Characteristic of her literary work is the aesthetic examination of the possibilities of narration and, time and again, the content-related preoccupation with the consequences of the National Socialist reign of terror in Europe.
