life and work

Armin Steigenberger studied architecture at the Technical University of Munich and worked as an architect until 2000. Since then he has been working as a freelance writer , writing reviews and organizing readings and writing seminars. In addition, he moderates two radio programs for LORA Munich and is co-editor of the literary magazine bes.dem . He is a member of the poetry group Reimfrei and was a participant in the Darmstadt text workshop with Kurt Drawert from 2008 to 2011 . Together with Karin Fellner , he is one of the driving forces behind the development of a contemporary Munich lyric scene. Armin Steigenberger mainly writes poetry, but has also published a novel and writes plays. Numerous texts have also appeared in literary magazines (e.g. Das Gedicht , louder nobody , NDL , Ostragehege ) and anthologies (e.g. Jahrbuch der Lyrik 2020 , Versnetze ).

From 2007 to 2015, Steigenberger hosted the one-hour radio program “Schöner Stottern” together with Enrico Strathausen. The program offered information on stuttering , but above all on social perception of stuttering and the exclusion associated with it. The program was perceived as a successful attempt to counteract social discrimination against stuttering people. The fact that both moderators stuttered themselves was a peculiarity and was seen as removing taboos , as stuttering people normally have no access to the media of radio and television .

Armin Steigenberger is married and lives in Munich.
