The book tells of the murder of the industrialist Hans Meyer, who used to be a Nazi officer in Italy . On the day of publication, the daily topics showed a report on the book. The world spoke of a "crystal clear story of dismaying amorality", the Focus of a "stroke of luck for German literature". Jörg Magenau criticized in the Süddeutsche Zeitung that the novel was composed of "sentences that seem to come from a catalog for scriptwriters." Schirach explained in an interview with Die Zeit that he was not interested in the question of "Who was the murderer." ? ”, But rather the question“ What is the motive? ”. In an essay in the Spiegel , Schirach first spoke about his grandfather Baldur von Schirach. He wrote that the Collini case was not a reappraisal of his family history, rather he wrote “about the post-war justice system, about the courts in the Federal Republic that passed cruel judgments, about the judges who imposed only five minutes' imprisonment for each murder of a Nazi perpetrator. It is a book about the crimes in our state, about revenge, guilt and the things that still fail today. ” Cicero wrote that Schirach's language was hardened and precisely calculated, and, unlike Bernhard Schlink , he was vehemently the side of the victims.

The Federal Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger sat on 11 January 2012, an independent commission for the Investigation of Nazi past in the Federal Ministry of Justice and referred inter alia to the case Collini .

In September 2013 Schirach published the novel Tabu . It rose to number 2 on the Spiegel bestseller list . The book received various reviews . Matthias Matussek wrote in the Spiegel : “How wonderful, such a book, which consists of lots of clear sentences, which are slim and clever, which resonate and in their beauty pull pull the reader on a journey into the pre-civilizational horror. [...] This novel, which works with an infinite number of levels, is not only artfully assembled, but it dissolves itself into art. "The Focus wrote:" Only a few writers succeed in their obsession with literature so intelligently and at the same time exciting transform. ”The ORF said that Schirach had“ solved the literary task brilliantly ”, that he“ left time for pictures, scenes and side scenes - but all in his own language: clear, apparently cool and artfully distilled to the essentials ”. Ulrich Greiner stated at the time that he did not understand the book and that Schirach could not write. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung compared Schirach's international success with Patrick Süskind and Bernhard Schlink and wrote that his themes of guilt and atonement, crime and punishment were part of a great narrative tradition. At the same time, however, “there is still plenty of room for improvement” in literary terms. The Börsenblatt des Buchhandels called Tabu in summary "a novel hated by the feature section".

Tabu was received positively abroad . In Great Britain , where the book is called The Girl Who Wasn't There , the Sunday Times wrote : "Ferdinand von Schirach is one of the most celebrated crime writers in Europe", it is a "sophisticated novel about a man whose emotional unaffectedness as well hypothermic how destructive it is ”. The Guardian said the novel was "written in a wonderfully restrained style," consistent with "the protagonist's pristine nature and his very abstract view of the world." The Observer said that Schirach wrote in "ice-cold, effortlessly elegant language", that the novel was "as captivating and eccentric as its protagonist." The Daily Telegraph considers Schirach to be "one of the most distinctive voices in European literature". In England, The Girl Who Wasn't There was # 1 on The Times Best Sellers List (The Times Saturday Review). In Tokyo , Tabu was performed as a theater adaptation at the New National Theater.

In August 2014, the collected essays that Schirach had written for Der Spiegel were published in the volume Die Dignity is touchable . The book debuted at number 2 on the Spiegel bestseller list . The reviews have been positive. In the NDR it was said that Schirach's "struggle for clear expression, the straightforward sentences are the rhetorical proof of the clarity of his thoughts", the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung called the texts "valid beyond the day". In an interview with the Standard , Schirach stated that he did not like the term “ intellectual ”, that he had just written down a few things that went through his head. "In fact, it's just my discomfort - the world seems to have become too complicated for me, I just don't understand a lot." In the same interview, Schirach said that he has just finished a play , the film and performance rights of which are being negotiated.

Terror, 2015

In 2015 the play called Terror appeared on the German stages. It tells of a terrorist attack aimed at Charlie Hebdo magazine on November 2, 2011 .

The cordiality of reason , 2017

In October 2017, Alexander Kluge and Schirach published a volume of conversations with the title Die Herzlichkeit der Vernunft . The book contains five conversations about Socrates , Voltaire , Kleist , politics and Schirach's play Terror . The literary world pre-printed the conversation about Socrates with fashion photos by Karl Lagerfeld , which took up the entire edition of the printed insert. In an interview with Deutschlandfunk , Schirach stated that the book was created because he and Kluge had recorded several film interviews and a series of conversations in recent years.

Punishment , 2018

In March 2018, Schirach's short story volume Strafe was published , in which twelve fates are described. The star preprinted a story in its February 22, 2018 issue. The heute-journal presented the book in the news broadcast on March 7, 2018 and called the texts “relentless, precise, sometimes coldly distant, then again deeply human.” In an interview with Deutschlandfunk Kultur , Schirach explained that Strafe completed the series he started with crime and guilt . The trilogy was planned from the outset in such a way that it corresponds to the order in which an indictment is examined in court. In an interview with Nils Minkmar in Der Spiegel , Schirach said about the book: “Many people in my stories are lonely. It is the basic feeling that I share with my characters. "

The feature section received the volume of stories positively. On March 11, 2018, Anne Siemens wrote in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung : “His new volume 'Strafe' has gained in intensity; it leaves the reader with a troubled soul and at the same time impressed, also happy about Schirach's art, in a few sentences - sometimes just one - to grasp big questions in life. " Uwe Wittstock wrote in the issue of Focus of March 2, 2018 : “Ferdinand von Schirach is not a writer of the cozy semi-darkness. He writes a literature of clarity, of brightness, a literature that looks closely, even if what comes to light is not beautiful. ”The Frankfurter Rundschau judged:“ Schirach is a master at leaving things out . His shortest stories in particular, however harsh they are, have the grace of shocked silence. "The evening newspaper wrote on March 5, 2018:" Hardly any other writer can describe and arouse such deep feelings with so few words. Schirach is a compassionate, deeply human narrator. "

Schirach presented the book in a premiere reading in the sold out Berlin Philharmonic together with the Philharmonic Orchestra Guy Braunstein , Olaf Maninger and Amihai Grosz . The rbb broadcast the reading in the live stream and in the program.

The book debuted at number 3 on the Spiegel bestseller list in the first week and reached number 1 in the second week.

In June 2018, Thomas Fischer criticized the online platform meedia “the eulogies (...) about the incomparably 'precise', 'laconic', 'empathic' style of Schirach” and proved that individual cases did not originate from the author's case practice, but rather from decisions made by Federal Supreme Court are modeled. Sabine Rückert countered this by saying that Schirach himself had stated in numerous interviews that his stories were “true, but not in the sense that they all happened that way”, but because they were literature.

The President of the Federal Constitutional Court, Andreas Vosskuhle , said in an interview in the Süddeutsche Zeitung that he was delighted with the success of Ferdinand Schirach's books, because "they show in a catchy way how supposedly simple legal questions are connected with other big questions - guilt, atonement, Freedom, justice, love, hate. And that it is sometimes difficult to find clear answers to these questions. "

Coffee and cigarettes , 2019

Book page signed by Ferdinand von Schirach in his text collection Coffee and Cigarettes (April 2019)

Ferdinand von Schirach gives observations from his life in 48 chapters. He describes his depression , a suicide attempt at the age of 15, encounters with Imre Kertész , Lars Gustafsson , Michael Haneke and writes about his grandfather Baldur von Schirach . The book stayed at number 1 on the Spiegel bestseller list for eleven weeks and, as of December 8, 2019, was number 2 of the best-selling books in 2019.

According to a review in the NDR, Schirach conjures up “with fine irony, subtle humor, and quiet despair, what makes him despair and what saves him. Von Schirach is a moralist with no morals on display. National Socialism, German Autumn and Rock 'n' Roll , Joseph Beuys ' Fettecke , authors such as Hemingway , Gustafsson and Mark Twain - smoking, of course, discovering home while traveling. Von Schirach is a master of the parable - he tells his story in a captivating way, which is also part of our history. "

Arno Widmann finds the blurb comparison with Kafka and Kleist made by the New York Times inappropriate, but does not blame the author for this. Of the 48 very different and mostly pointed texts that neither create a connection for themselves nor with each other, he mentions the depiction of the grandfather of the author Baldur von Schirach, who was essential for his identity formation “out of anger and shame”. Widmann sees “Maybe” as the “ concert pitch of Schirach's prose”, which Schirach developed in contrast to the “murderous self-assurance” of his grandfather. In the "tired" and "environmentally friendly" texts, however, Widmann lacks the permanent confrontation with this terrifying image within the author. Schirach's lacony is also asexual, the distance we need easily becomes what we die of, this is what Schirach demonstrates in every story in which he himself is the “exhibit”. The fact that Schirach "always constructs his texts in a repulsively transparent manner" should not be reproached, "if it were the only way in which this man could express himself, that is, pour his insides outward."

Hubert Winkels emphasizes the first of the numbered texts, a “cursory quick passage through childhood and adolescence”, which Schirach strangely writes according to the same pattern as the dozen case stories in his story volumes. In the court stories, a criminal lawyer adopts the perspective of the accused; in the opening story, the narrator himself is the subject, inventing himself, whereby the reader has to construct too much from too few reporting and also poetically presented elements. Schirach's laconic style shows a " fatalistic (n) basic course". "Disappointment, distant happiness, horror about the human condition in general, about the warlike human race and recent German history in particular, form the basis of almost all of the following texts." According to Winkels, a compilation of quotations would result in a small breviary of contemporary stoicism : "It is unmistakable that he wants to tell us important things about the futility of life and the dignity that results from it."

Still, 2020

In May 2020 the volume of conversations "Nevertheless" by Ferdinand von Schirach and Alexander Kluge was published by Luchterhand Literaturverlag . The book contains two conversations by the two writers about the Covid-19 pandemic . They mainly touch on historical topics such as Thomas Hobbes , David Hume , Montesquieu , Carl Schmitt and the Lisbon earthquake . The book entered the Spiegel bestseller list at number 1 .

theatre

In January 2014 it became known that Schirach was writing a play. The play Terror started with a double performance on October 3, 2015 at the Deutsches Theater Berlin and at the Schauspiel Frankfurt . The film rights were sold to Moovie GmbH ( Oliver Berben , Constantin Film ). An unconventional style element of the work is that the audience acts as a jury at the end, similar to the play Night of January 16th by Ayn Rand . The German Stage wrote (in the September 2015 issue) about the play: "The most remarkable new play of the season is without a doubt Ferdinand von Schirach's Terror ." Deutschlandradio Kultur described the play as "inciting a moral discourse", while the German stage spoke of an “ingeniously factual, almost sparse language” and the Süddeutsche Zeitung declared that it was “no wonder” “that theaters are greedy for this material - as if a Friedrich Schiller had delivered it to the present” and called the “abysmal moralist” "Ferdinand Schirach the" most successful playwright of this season ". Reinhard Tschapke judged the performance of the Oldenburg State Theater for the Nordwest-Zeitung : "This is not a play, but an event."

The North German Radio produced a radio play from the play, directed by Ulrich lamps .

So far, 56 premieres of the play have taken place, including on numerous stages in Austria and Switzerland. Premieres were also shown in Japan and Venezuela, and further performances have been announced for Hungary, Denmark, Israel and the USA (as of November 2016). The Gustav Kiepenheuer Bühnenvertrieb lists the premieres and the global voting results of the play on his website.

According to a report in the 28/2017 issue of Spiegel , Schirach's play is one of the “most successful contemporary stage plays”. It has so far been shown in 60 theaters in eleven countries and 1110 times in Germany alone. According to the Deutscher Bühnenverein , the play was "by far the front runner in German drama in the 2016/2017 season". It replaced Goethe's Faust as the most successful piece. According to his work statistics, Schirach was the most popular author in Germany, Austria and Switzerland after William Shakespeare . The piece is now played on all five continents.

On the occasion of the 500,000 visitors to the play, Gustav Kiepenheuer Bühnenvertrieb published voices from directors and artistic directors on the play.

Film adaptations

  • The Constantin Film bought the film rights to the books crime and guilt .
  • Doris Dorrie turned in 2012 for a story from the eponymous film happiness .
  • Six of the short stories from the tape Verbrechen were shown in April 2013 as a mini-series on ZDF under the title Verbrechen nach Ferdinand von Schirach . The producer is Oliver Berben . The multi-part series was the first German-language drama series to be sold to Taiwan, where Schirach's books are bestsellers. The series was nominated for the Grimme Prize in 2014 .
  • In May 2013, ZDF announced that it would also film short stories from the band Schuld under the title Schuld nach Ferdinand von Schirach . Moritz Bleibtreu played the main role in the six-part series. Following the example of Netflix , ZDF put all episodes online in the media library for the first time before they were broadcast.
  • In June 2016 it became known that Oliver Berben and ZDF are filming a second season of the short story tape Schuld , again with Moritz Bleibtreu in the lead role. The four new episodes were broadcast on ZDF from September 15, 2017 and simultaneously published in full in the media library.
  • In Germany, together with ORF2 in Austria and SRF in Switzerland, ARD showed Terror - Your Judgment on October 17, 2016, a film adaptation of the theater play Terror , with the option of a vote by the audience. It is considered to be the largest live experiment on German-speaking television to date. The discussion that followed the film, tough but fair , was moderated by Frank Plasberg . In Austria, film and voting were then discussed in the program Am Schauplatzgericht special . In Switzerland there was also a subsequent discussion round “Arena special” .
Thomas Fischer , presiding judge at the BGH , described the show in his time column as “the cheapest kind of legal show ” and criticized the author von Schirach who understood nothing about criminal law: “He may let all the murderers and robbers sneak around in his woodcut-like crime stories, as he pleases, but he should keep his hands off serious criminal law issues. Anyone who mixes up illegality and guilt in such a devastating way should really not write educational pieces about inadequate criminal law dogmatics ”. The media lawyer Christian Schertz explained that the criticism, which is certainly justified in the beginning, by fully qualified lawyers such as the “rumbling” judge Fischer misunderstood that the film was about art. Just as satire is allowed to massively exaggerate, the writer or screenwriter is allowed to dramatize with means of simplification in order to arouse emotions in the audience and to initiate more intensive reflection on basic questions of being. It would be a matter of starting a discussion on elementary questions; Schirach succeeded in doing this through the criticized simplification and was certainly also his goal.
The former judge at the Federal Constitutional Court, Udo Di Fabio , also stated in the heute-journal that the Federal Constitutional Court had not decided this case, but only ruled on the legal basis. The escalation in Schirach's fictional case was, of course, deliberately chosen dramaturgically in order to represent the constitutional borderline case. The play and the film show the dilemma of the state, which has to protect the citizens in the plane and the citizens in the stadium and cannot do this at the same time. This dilemma cannot be resolved clearly through the law. The constitution is an open discussion process; even after a decision by the Federal Constitutional Court, one can discuss whether the law corresponds to moral ideas. Therefore, such audience votes are an "exciting expression of common sense".
According to an evaluation by the specialist magazine Blickpunkt Film was Terror - Your verdict was the most successful ARD television film of 2016. Lars Kraume won the German Television Prize 2017 for best director with the film . The film was awarded the Rose d'Or 2017.

The former president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany Charlotte Knobloch explained about the film: “The Collini case shows the wrong ways and dead ends of coming to terms with the past in Germany and makes remembering a fictional story tangible for younger generations as well.
