Life

Christian Wolter grew up in the former GDR district town of Teterow, which came to the Rostock district in the new state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania after the reunification . After graduating from school in 1988, Wolter trained as a bricklayer until 1990 . He was also active in literature and was particularly active in the social beat movement of the 1990s. Wolter has published numerous prose in various Underground - literary magazines , denied many readings and often joined Social Beat Festival and at the Berlin reading stages Reformbühne Heim & Welt and road enthusiasts on. He also had television appearances on what was then the citizen broadcaster Offener Kanal Berlin .

From 1996 to 1999 Wolter published the FRÖSI fanzine for FRAU . The name was a satirical allusion to both the former GDR children's magazine FRÖSI ("Fröhlich sein und singen"), which appeared from 1953 to 1991, as well as the former magazine world of the GDR publishing company Verlag für die Frau , which in addition to books published numerous fashion and advice magazines for women. Wolter's “ punk fanzine” is now considered “legendary”. In 1998 he toured with the Zurich duo Trouble & Soulless by Switzerland and the Federal Republic of Germany.

2001 appeared in southern Germany Small Press Killroy Media Wolters debut novel The Frösi band in which he is a Mecklenburg adolescence story told, "with all that that entails: Sex, Drugs, province , unemployment, Hansa - fans and neo-Nazis ." The “trashy aftermath satire” received some attention from the audience and the critics. In 2004 he published the radio play This strong lust for evil , in which he addresses the behavior of "hard-nosed and violent" football fans in the east German province in individual stories that are set in the GDR before and after the fall of the Wall.

In the mid-2000s, Wolter studied museology at the University of Technology, Economics and Culture in Leipzig . In his thesis he dealt with the Bruno-Plache Stadium in Leipzig , which was the largest club-owned soccer stadium in Germany when it opened in 1922 and where the home games of 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig are played today. In 2008, his diploma thesis resulted in the non-fiction book Stadion, Tore, Emotionen , in which Wolter both revisits the history of this traditional Leipzig sports arena and reproduces many eyewitness interviews and photos.

At the end of the 2000s he went to Berlin and spent two and a half years researching the history of Berlin's football pitches in the state's archives and clubs , initially as a private researcher and later for the Berlin fan project . This resulted in the non-fiction book Lawn of Passions , which came out in 2011 and in which Wolter presents the “history and stories” of around 75 Berlin venues and reports on “clubs, records and tumults”.

Since 2012 he has been researching workers' football in Berlin. In early 2015 he published his book Arbeiterfußball in Berlin und Brandenburg 1910–1933 , which was published by Arete Verlag in Hildesheim . He has been running the website beruferfussball.de since 2016.

Christian Wolter lives and works in Mecklenburg.
