Arnold Stadler (born April 9, 1954 in Meßkirch ) is a German writer , essayist and translator who received the most important German literary prize, the Georg Büchner Prize , in 1999 .

life and work

Stadler grew up in Rast in the district of Sigmaringen , between Lake Constance and the Danube.

After graduating from the Martin-Heidegger-Gymnasium in Meßkirch, Stadler studied Catholic theology in Munich and Rome and then German at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg , the University of Cologne and the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn . In 1986 the doctorate to Dr. phil. with the dissertation The Book of Psalms and German-Language Poetry of the 20th Century . In 2006 he also received an honorary doctorate from the Free University of Berlin.

After long journeys, which took him to South America ( Tierra del Fuego ) and the Near and Far East ( People's Republic of China ), Stadler made writing his profession in the 1980s. In 1986 his first work was published, the volume of poetry No Heart and No Soul . In 1989, I was once was his first novel , which he completed in the following years with Tierra del Fuego and “My dog, my pig, my life” to a trilogy. In all three novels he made the Upper Swabian homeland the subject of the plot. With the appearance of the novel trilogy, Stadler became known in German-speaking countries.

In 1994, Martin Walser described Stadler's style as unmistakable in a Spiegel essay and praised his language as the beginning of an epic development. Stadler was classified by the sponsorship group of German writers in Baden-Württemberg in "the foremost German-speaking authors of his generation". In the year his first novel was published, he received his first award from the Jürgen Ponto Foundation.

In addition to homeland praise, the novels also know satire , irony and laconicism , but above all sarcasm and black humor - in Messkirch, his birthplace, Stadler's “Sociogram of a Really Existing Microcosm” ( Dietmar Grieser ) has long been understood as mere accounting.

Today he lives in the small village of Sallahn in the municipality of coastal in Wendland , in Berlin and again in his parents' house in Rast. His works, some of which are autobiographical, are often set in his home country. They often address his perceived homelessness and the change in this rural, Catholic region in southern Germany between the Upper Danube and Lake Constance , which he himself called Swabian Mesopotamia . The author tours the world with his works, reads and sells his books in bookshops and in Goethe institutes abroad. Stadler writes by hand with the pen.

In 2009 the author's book “As if he had been someone else: On the work of Arnold Stadler”, edited by Pia Reinacher. Stadler is a member of the Mainz Academy of Sciences and Literature , the German Academy for Language and Poetry in Darmstadt and the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts . He is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade .

One of his most recent works, " On the way to Winterreute: A trip into the world of the painter Jakob Bräckle " - published in 2012 by Jung und Jung Verlag, pays homage to Jakob Bräckle, an Upper Swabian landscape painter. Both are united in their work by an intensive preoccupation with their Upper Swabian homeland, their personal soul landscape. Stadler calls this "visualizing a landscape".

Stadler is a member of the PEN Center Germany .
