Felicitas ("Fe") Frischmuth (born October 2, 1930 in Berlin ; † August 12, 2009 in St. Wendel ) was a German writer and poet.

While still at school she studied music, then classical philology and philosophy at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main , with Theodor Adorno among others . Since 1959 she lived in St. Wendel in the Saarland . Her literary work includes a large number of poems, short stories and accompanying texts on art. The collection of poetry, Im Gehen / Quand on marche , written in 1995 together with Bernard Vargaftig from Lorraine, is an example of their ties to the Franco-German border region . In 1978/79 she lived and worked as part of a study visit in the studio house of the Worpswede artists' colony . In 1982 she was awarded the Saarland Art Prize , the most important Saarland culture prize. She was married to the Saarland artist and art professor Leo Kornbrust , who often incorporated literary texts by his wife into his sculptures (e.g. in the steles in front of the Saarland Museum in Saarbrücken and on Brudermühlstrasse in Munich).

Felicitas Frischmuth died after a long and serious illness.
