Life

After graduating from high school C. Negruzzi (1970), Corbea-Hoișie studied German and Romance studies at the University of Alexandru Ioan Cuza Iași . There he obtained the German diploma in 1974 and the history diploma in 1979. With a thesis on Franz Kafka , he was in Bucharest in 1988 Philology doctorate . He knows the multicultural history and (Jewish) literary history of Bukovina like no other . In his great oeuvre, the books about Paul Celan , Immanuel Weissglas and Valeriu Marcu, who was (wrongly) forgotten in Germany, stand out. He was also particularly concerned with Ernst Jünger , Theodor Adorno and Max Frisch . Corbea-Hoișie was Associate Professor at the University of Paris VIII , the University of Siegen , the University of Friborg (Switzerland) and the University of Bucharest . The foundation of the École normal supérieure (Paris) awarded him the Blaise Pascal Research Professorship in 1998/99. Since 2000 he has been a member of the Academy of Charitable Sciences in Erfurt . The University of Konstanz awarded him an honorary doctorate (Dr. phil. Hc) in 2004 . He is married to Magda Jeanrenaud .

In April 2007 he received a verdict from the National Council for the Study of the Archives of the Securitate (Romanian: Consiliul Național pentru Studierea Arhivelor Securității , CNSAS), the Romanian equivalent of the Gauck authority in Germany, which confirmed its collaboration with the Securitate. As a result of his IM activity, Corbea-Hoișie enjoyed a special status during the Ceaușescu regime, which, among other things, allowed him numerous trips abroad. Under the employee name "Horia" he spied on the intellectual opposition in Jassy . Those affected also included the prominent literary critic and opponent of the regime, Dan Petrescu , in whose discrediting Corbea-Hoișie, operated by the secret service, was involved: They tried to defame the inconvenient liberal Petrescu as a right-wing extremist. When in April 2007 the archives authority issued their unanimous verdict, which named him as an employee of the political police, he did not contradict a word. The evidence was overwhelming. That is why neither the Tagesspiegel nor the Frankfurter Rundschau were prepared to publish its reply. Your Romanian version was published in 2008 in the Bucharest cultural magazine Observator cultural (No. 436, August 14, 2008). He had to give up his post as Ambassador of Romania in Vienna, which he had held since 2005. His successor as ambassador in Vienna was Silvia Davidoiu appointed. In 2008/09 he then held a three-semester visiting professorship at the University of Vienna . When he was invited to the summer academy of the Romanian Cultural Institute in Berlin in the same year , the writers Herta Müller and Richard Wagner protested because he had worked for the Romanian security service Securitate . In 2016, the Südkurier published Hoișie's statement on the allegations.
