Andreas Beck (Author)

Andreas Beck (born October 30, 1948 in Hornberg ) is a German doctor, theologian, writer and painter.

Life

Beck grew up in the Black Forest and then received a scholarship at the Konradihaus for a high school education at the Suso-Gymnasium in Konstanz , where he graduated from high school in 1968. He studied Catholic theology in Freiburg im Breisgau , but was mainly influenced by numerous stays abroad, during which many of his pictures were taken. His doctoral thesis on the fall of the Knights Templar was rejected and therefore appeared as a free treatise. After a theological career had proved impossible because of the disagreements with the Freiburg Ordinariate, Beck studied medicine at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg . He completed his habilitation at the University Medical Center Freiburg and from 1990 to 2014 headed the Institute for X-ray Diagnostics and Nuclear Medicine at the Konstanz Clinic.

Beck became best known through Martin Walser's essay The Life Novel by Andreas Beck , in which Walser examines Beck's life and works from six different aspects. Walser is particularly touched by the pupil's willingness to believe and adore authorities of all kinds, but also points out that Beck, in the tradition of Heinrich Hansjakob and Berthold Auerbach , pays tribute to the so-called "little people" and originals of the Black Forest proves. In Walser's essay, which was published in book form in 2006, several paintings by Beck are also reproduced.
