history

The association goes back to the literary club of the Bergakademie Freiberg founded on October 28, 1974 by the archivist of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg , Karl-Fritz Zillmann (sponsor: FDJ -Hochschulleitung der Bergakademie Freiberg). In 1977 the literary club was renamed the Circle of Writing Students and Working People at the Freiberg Mountain Academy. The Mittweida writer Peter Löw took over the artistic direction . From the political change in the GDR (1989) to 1995, the circle existed as a free group of authors without a sponsor or leader. In 1992 the group was renamed the literature workshop "Die Pforte" . In 1995 the Freiberg author and publisher Peter Segler took over the management of the literature workshop "Die Pforte" and led it as an artistic working group to the Association of Amateur Artists of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg eV Due to restructuring (outsourcing of cultural areas) within the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, the Carrier. The group of authors was now run as the AG Wort in the Bergakademischen student club "Das Füllort" eV .

In 2000, the group split off from the Bergakademisches Studentenklub and founded the writers' association, WORT eV Freiberg as a non-profit association on December 6, 2000 (Chairman: Peter Segler ). On February 1, 2012, the association was dissolved again.
