Life

As a child of war refugees, he grew up with two sisters in a small Brandenburg village. Even the father liked to draw and was talented. So the son learned early. From 1956 to 1964 he attended the central school. His teachers liked his drawings and they sent a selection to the Junge Welt publishing house in Berlin. Since the 7th grade he was in constant contact with the publishing house, especially with Wolfgang Altenburger , editor-in-chief of Atze magazine . From 1964 to 1968 he attended EOS and then began a teaching degree in art education and history at the Humboldt University in Berlin . During his studies he published his first drawings in the university newspaper, Eulenspiegel and Bauernecho . Before he finished his studies, he was offered the opportunity to work in the Mosaik collective. The popular education long did not let him, he that until 1981 as a teacher in Walchow and Nauen worked before he could become self-employed.

During the years of teaching, he established connections to various editorial offices and newspapers, so that he decided to move to Berlin in 1980 and work as a freelance press illustrator. After much pressure and personal contacts with various publishers, popular education released him. Until 1990 he worked for the magazine Junge Welt , the Deutsche Bauernverlag, the Berliner Verlag , the Verlag Edition Leipzig a . a. From 1987 to 1990, at the request of Jürgen Kieser , he drew 45 episodes of the comic series Fix and Fax for Atze magazine , which were republished in 2009 by Mosaik Steinchen for Steinchen Verlag in a complete edition. His drawings and caricatures were shown in several exhibitions in the exhibition center in Nauen and in the teacher's house . During these years, My Little Song Book I, II, III and the children's book How Master Röckle Outwitted the Devil were published. He illustrated the book series Jagdhumor , published by the military publishing house of the GDR. Illustrations for local stories and legends appeared in the Neue Berliner Illustrierte (NBI), FRÖSI and Atze .

The turning point ended this work because all former partners ceased to exist. During this phase, Gliege worked as a furnishing consultant in a furniture store in Berlin. He made new contacts with publishers and so a collaboration developed with Burda-Verlag , Nordkurier Neubrandenburg , Velber Verlag and the Märkische Volkszeitung . For these publishers he mainly drew “Heimatgeschichten” and “the mouse and the elephant”. Since November 1997 he has been working again as a freelance press illustrator. Currently (as of 2017) he draws humor and puzzle drawings as well as picture stories and children's songs, home songs from Havelland for the Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung . He also prepares drawings for sagas and legends in and around Neubrandenburg. He lives in Rathenow .
