Bruno Gluchowski ( pseudonym : Robert Paulsen ; born February 17, 1900 in Berlin , † November 14, 1985 in Dortmund ) was a German writer .

Life

Bruno Gluchowski was the son of a construction worker . He attended elementary school and completed an apprenticeship as a pastry chef from 1914 , which he completed with the journeyman's examination. He then spent a year as a journeyman on a journey through Germany. In 1918 he was drafted into the military. After the end of the First World War , Gluchowski was unemployed . Looking for work, he came into the Ruhr , where he in 1920 as a coal-drag on a mine in Hamborn and 1922 in Dortmund underground as Hauer worked. In 1922 he took an active part in the suppression of the Kapp Putsch . From 1930 Gluchowski was again unemployed. He started writing and joined the League of Proletarian Revolutionary Writers . By 1933, numerous of his literary works appeared in the Ruhr area press . The planned publication of his novel Kohlen-Kulis was prevented in 1933 by the seizure of power by the National Socialists , who temporarily banned him from writing in the following years . In 1937 he was able to publish the play The Breakthrough , which was performed in Stuttgart and Magdeburg.

In 1938 he also wrote a manuscript for a film, which he sent to the actor Mathias Wieman . In the main story, Gluchowski told of the camaraderie of some miners who were trapped underground in a mine accident. In addition, the everyday life of the miners with their worries and joys was described. Mathias Wieman came to Dortmund and lived by the author's side for weeks. Finally the script, a work that did not hide the truth, was ready. However, it was not recognized by Goebbels and was therefore not approved. In 1953 Wieman remembered Gluchowski's original and so the script from 1938 became the manuscript for a radio play, which was then implemented for the first time by the NWDR Cologne . Among others, Kaspar Brüninghaus , Hanns Ernst Jäger and Jürgen von Manger spoke under the direction of Eduard Hermann .

In 1938 a radio play by Gluchowski was broadcast on the radio. After the Second World War , the author was again unemployed; from 1950 he worked again as a miner underground, later until his retirement in 1963 as a social worker in a colliery .

Bruno Gluchowski was the author of socially critical novels, stories , dramas and radio plays in which he processed his personal experiences in the working world of the Ruhr mining industry. At the beginning of the sixties it was rediscovered by the emerging movement to promote workers' literature. He was one of the co-founders of Group 61 and was considered one of its most prominent figures. He was unable to finish his last manuscript, Fear in a Thousand Evenings , due to illness.

Part of Bruno Gluchowski's estate is in the manuscript department of the Dortmund City and State Library and in the Fritz Hüser Institute for Literature and Culture in the Working World in Dortmund .
