According to research by Michael Angele , Schirrmacher, who was fascinated by the poet Stefan George and his circle , had come into contact in 1980 through the Heidelberg Anglicist Rudolf Sühnel with the Georgian Wolfgang Frommel , the founder of Castrum Peregrini and the center of a homosexual, promiscuous pedophile group visited this in Amsterdam, courted, among other things with the poem "Liebe zum Meister", and spent a while in his house at 401 Herengracht, but was finally rejected.

Gravestone with quote from Goethe.

Schirrmacher was first married to the writer Angelika Klüssendorf , with whom he had a son, and his second marriage to the journalist and writer Rebecca Casati , with whom he had a daughter. With this he lived in Potsdam - Sacrow and had a second residence in Frankfurt's Westend . In Potsdam he was a member of the advisory board of the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium .

Schirrmacher's tombstone shows a quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe :

“The conviction of our continuity arises from the concept of activity; if I work restlessly to my end, then nature is obliged to instruct me in another form of existence, if the current one my spirit cannot continue to endure. "

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

promotion

Schirrmacher's doctorate (1988) was the subject of a critical public discussion. Schirrmacher had submitted a dissertation to the University of Siegen , the text of which was largely based on a work he had published shortly before (1987) ( Defense of the Scriptures. Kafka's "Process" ( edition suhrkamp , 220 pp., ISBN 3-518-11386- 0 ) was consistent. the 180-page doctoral thesis differed from the book only by a ten-page introduction and a restated second part, consisting of 22 pages. (the 1987 published text was after information of the two appraisers involved in the master's degree of German Studies Faculty of Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg largely identical to Schirrmacher's master's thesis from 1984.) The Siegen University was informed about the Suhrkamp publication from 1987, and the doctoral regulations of the university permitted the acceptance of already published work in exceptional cases was therefore not seen, but critics have argued that double exploitation is contrary to the goal of good scientific practice, which requires original work that offers new knowledge.

Worked for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

On the basis of a recommendation from Dolf Sternberger (1907–1989), Professor of Political Science at the University of Heidelberg, who has long been associated with the FAZ editorial team as a mentor and editor-in-chief, Schirrmacher received an internship at the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung from FAZ publisher Joachim Fest in 1984 ; in July 1985 he became an editor in their feature section.

From 1989 to 1993 he succeeded Marcel Reich-Ranicki as head of the “Literature and literary life” editorial team . Since January 1, 1994, he was Joachim Fest's successor as one of the five editors responsible for the features section , with overall journalistic responsibility for the FAZ. The editors of the FAZ never called him by name, but always called the "editor".

The US magazine Newsweek praised Schirrmacher as one of the leading intellectuals. In 2006, Jakob Augstein called him “ Dirty Harry of the feuilleton” in the weekly newspaper Die Zeit .

In 2000, Schirrmacher expanded the FAZ's feature pages considerably and recruited well-known journalists from other newspapers. But just two years later, due to the general newspaper crisis, the number of pages had to be reduced and employees dismissed, a process that was unique in the history of the FAZ. In addition, the “Berlin Pages” launched by Schirrmacher were discontinued in 2002. His attempt to relocate the feature editors to Berlin also failed.

Schirrmacher opened up the fields of the history of science and the philosophy of technology to the feature pages in Germany early on and brought the ideas of Bill Joy , Ray Kurzweil , V. S. Ramachandran , Patrick Bateson , James Watson and Craig Venter to the fore of public discussion. Schirrmacher sponsored David Gelernter , Evgeny Morozov , Constanze Kurz , George Dyson and Jaron Lanier , winners of the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade 2014. In the features section of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, they were given space to develop their thoughts to an extent and over a period of time that was otherwise only available in academic journals.

As one of the editors, Frank Schirrmacher was involved in the end of Hugo Müller-Vogg's work as editor of the FAZ on June 21, 2001. The four other editors Günther Nonnenmacher , Jürgen Jeske , Berthold Kohler and Frank Schirrmacher decided on June 20, 2001 in consultation with the management that the collaboration with Müller-Vogg, who had been one of the editors since 1988, would take effect immediately to end. A broken relationship of trust was communicated as the reason for this personnel decision. Behind this were personal and political animosities.

Public debates

Death of a critic

Schirrmacher caused a stir in 2002 with an open letter in which he attacked Martin Walser's novel Death of a Critic even before it was published and accused him of “playing with anti-Semitic clichés”. Walser had given the FAZ the novel, in which some critics see an attack on Marcel Reich-Ranicki, for preprint.

The Methuselah plot

In 2004, Schirrmacher published The Methuselah plot , in which he summarizes long-standing demographic facts, points to an aging society due to low birth rates and calls for an "uprising of the old". This book, which was widely discussed in the media and which was accompanied by a preprint in Spiegel , a series of articles in the Bild newspaper and television appearances by Schirrmacher, developed into a bestseller and has been translated into 14 languages. For this, Schirrmacher was awarded the Golden Pen and the Corine Literature Prize in the non-fiction category. In 2004 he was named Journalist of the Year by Medium Magazin for The Methuselah Conspiracy and his “masterful marketing strategy for the topic and himself ”.

Schirrmacher speaks at the “Fund professionell congress” about the “investment opportunity demography”.

minimum

In 2006 his book Minimum was published . The title refers to Schirrmacher's analysis of the consequences of the dissolution of the family as the “nucleus of society ” and thus the shrinking of social relationships to a minimum. The social superiority of the “survival factory family” in times of need can, according to his argumentation, be proven particularly with an American myth: the tragedy of the settlers on the Donner Pass , where predominantly “lone fighters” without family “blood ties” died in a snow storm, while family members survived. Critics accused him of promoting a neo-conservative image of women and of overestimating statistics. Among other things, through prints and reports in the Spiegel and Bild-Zeitung as well as through television presentations, the journalist once again succeeded in attracting wide attention and high book sales.

Interview with Günter Grass

Schirrmacher made another big media coup on August 14, 2006 with an FAZ interview with Günter Grass , in which he admitted that he had been drafted into the Waffen SS as an SS storm man in the last months of the war . Although he had only spoken negatively about Grass in previous years, Schirrmacher was able to conduct this internationally acclaimed interview with Grass shortly before the publication of the novel The Skinning of the Onion . The start of sales, which was only planned for September, was brought forward to the week after the interview. A year later, Grass regretted giving this interview to the FAZ: “I would no longer get involved with the FAZ. That's for sure. ”The FAZ had illegally quoted private letters in which Grass had asked the SPD politician Karl Schiller to confess his Nazi past.

Public performances

In 2007, among other things, Schirrmacher received the Jacob Grimm Prize, endowed with 30,000 euros, for “The Methuselah Conspiracy” “... for his linguistic achievements as a newspaper journalist and book author and in recognition of the linguistic culture of the feature pages of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , which repeatedly sets standards . ”Schirrmacher also presented his theses for an event (“ Investment Opportunity Demography ”) organized by the insurance and financial services group Allianz .

Also in 2007, when Scientology leader David Miscavige announced that Tom Cruise would become the Messiah of Scientology, Frank Schirrmacher gave the laudation on Tom Cruise at the Bambi Awards on November 29 in Düsseldorf . Cruise was awarded the Courage Bambi as Stauffenberg actor and co-producer of the film Operation Walküre - The Stauffenberg Assassination , although at that time no one had seen the film because it was not yet finished. After several postponements, the premiere of the film only took place on December 15, 2008 in New York and on January 20, 2009 in Berlin. Schirrmacher's laudation was printed in the FAZ on November 30, 2007.

Hessian Culture Prize 2009

In the dispute over the Hessian Culture Prize 2009, Schirrmacher defended the German-Iranian author Navid Kermani , to whom the prize was first awarded, then withdrawn, but finally awarded. He certified Kermani "understanding for the other side". Schirrmacher had brought the young Kermani into the FAZ as an author, but later distanced himself more and more from him, so that Kermani felt “humiliated”.

Payback

Schirrmacher's book Payback was published in November 2009 . Why we are forced to do what we don't want to do in the information age and how we regain control over our thinking by dealing with the influence of modern information media on people. It was recognized by the Nobel laureate in economics, Daniel Kahneman , the business journalist and Internet critic Nicholas Carr , the American psychology professor John Bargh and the virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier as an important contribution to the debate on the socio-cultural effects of the Internet. John Bargh noted: “Schirrmacher is right to be concerned about the consequences of a universal digitized knowledge database, especially when it comes to predicting what people will do. And especially when the artificial intelligence in the digitized world can put together data that can calculate which situation moves which people to act. "

At a “Digital Life Design” panel discussion on the relationship between information and users, Schirrmacher expressed the fear that users on the Internet would ultimately allow themselves to be patronized by machines (such as search algorithms from Google). In a report by stern.de he received the sharp criticism that he represents a populist cultural pessimism that embarrasses him in comparison to the debates of John Brockman and David Gelernter , two thought leaders in the digital world. Hal Faber (pseudonym) from Heise-Online took a rather ironic perspective on the discussion: “The debate in Munich about whether machines or people are the better information guzzlers ended with a clear tie. The arguments of the participants in the corresponding DLD discussion were too similar. The computer scientist David Gelernter agreed wonderfully with the newspaper makers Frank Schirrmacher (FAZ) and Andrian Kreye (Süddeutsche Zeitung). So much harmony has to be rewarded and is also rewarded: From next spring, those who have learned will get a regular column in the FAZ. ”The same discussion was described by another source as an important contribution to the debate about the relationship between institutions and the digital future:“ When Schirrmacher and learned one becomes clear: You can see algorithms as something that endangers institutions - or as something that creates institutions. Ultimately, both sides are right: algorithms do both. It is important to address the first without losing sight of the second. "

Jakob Augstein criticized the one-dimensionality of the debate about the book in “Die Welt” and pointed out that Schirrmacher had been trying to establish a dialogue between computer science and the arts section since 2000. “Has a 'third culture' established itself in Germany, a new dialogue between thoughts and trades, in which the technological avant-garde argues with the rest of society about goals and risks, responsibility and powerlessness, rule and belief, images of human beings and identities? If you look at the reception of Schirrmacher's book and if you take a look at the state of the contemporary digital debate, then you can doubt that. ”“ Payback ”was nominated in February 2010 for the 2010 Leipzig Book Fair in the non-fiction category.

Journalist of the year 2010

After he had already been voted “Journalist of the Year” in 2004, the jury of Medium Magazin awarded him again in 2010, this time as “Cultural Journalist of the Year”. The jury's reasoning was: “In 2010, Frank Schirrmacher's masterpiece was the groundbreaking and exemplary treatment of the excitement of the year: Thilo Sarrazin's theses from the book 'Germany abolishes itself'. His essays, interviews and topics, also on other topics such as the Internet or the Foreign Office, are the best proof that dealing with the culture of a society is the foundation of political reporting. "

Confronting the economic crisis

In a sensational article entitled I begin to believe that the left is right, Schirrmacher wrote in August 2011 that, as a conservative, he had to recognize that the current “bourgeois” (Schirrmacher's quotation marks) policies lead to poorer individual life opportunities and greater inequality and the left was right in its criticism of it. “The CDU has never reclaimed its immaterial values ​​lent to the financial markets, its idea of ​​the individual and the happiness of the individual. She [...] has not even complained about the messing up and shattering of her ideals. ”The“ ability to criticize bourgeois society ”must be reinvented. With regard to the financial and debt crisis in the EU, Schirrmacher sees the primacy of the political being pushed back over the interests of the economy and he accuses bankers and leading politicians of a lack of respect for European values ​​and democracy.

Ego: The game of life

Schirrmacher's book Ego: Das Spiel des Lebens , published in 2013, caused numerous controversial socio-political statements in the media even before the official publication date. The book deals with the concept of people's free will and the concept of democracy in today's world, in which an economy of radical egoism without morality (based on the theory of rational decision and game theory ) is increasingly gaining the upper hand. In it, Schirrmacher describes the role of Homo oeconomicus in the age of digitization . He calls this “economic agent” in us, our second self, number 2 .

Obituaries

The Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote that Schirrmacher began "as a conservative revolutionary, whose heroes were Ernst Jünger , Stefan George and Rudolf Borchardt , and who, in provocative contrast to the ethical aesthetics of the old Federal Republic, joyfully tried out the 'dangerous' thinking of the German right." attested him the pronounced "ability to sense things to come, to discover new constellations, to sharpen alternatives and to change positions at lightning speed", which in tactical questions has increased to an almost "demonic skill". Schirrmacher was "not only a sharp social critic of the conservative tradition, not only a great publicist", but also "one of the first ' digerati ' [...] But because he came from the European tradition of critical thinking, he was largely immune to the seductive one Euphoria that wafted from the American coasts across the Atlantic. "

Former Zeit co-editor Michael Naumann attested to Schirrmacher that he had been "the liveliest feature editor in Germany for decades". Schirrmacher had "inhaled a spiritual, intellectual, but also journalistic freshness" in the "very conservative paper" FAZ, which "was surprising". He was “definitely a man with enormous innovation potential”: “Not always on the right side, but overall a brilliant, innovative, intelligent, well-written intellectual who ended up in a profession that he might not even aspire to because his original academic interests, literary interests, could just as easily have placed him at a university. But that's how he came to the FAZ. "

The literary agent John Brockman called Schirrmacher's death a "loss that you will feel not only in Germany, but all over the world [...] He made intellectual life in Germany triumph over that in America. Because he dared to put topics on the agenda that nobody in America wanted to put on the agenda. "

On the occasion of Schirrmacher's 55th birthday on September 5, 2014, the FAZ and the City of Frankfurt organized a commemoration in the Paulskirche with over three hundred guests.

Shoshana Zuboff thanks Schirrmacher in detail in her standard work The Age of Surveillance Capitalism , calling him a “courageous intellectual”, “support” and “constant inspiration”.

criticism

In May 1996, Der Spiegel published a critical article about Schirrmacher, which accused him of “inconsistencies” in statements about his own biography.

The director at the International Institute for Empirical Social Economics (INIFES), Ernst Kistler , criticizes the conclusions drawn and the connections made in the book The Methuselah Conspiracy : "The matter becomes problematic, however, when demographically inexperienced laypeople like Frank Schirrmacher construct airy connections from them." - "Then he apocalyptically pulls the tangle of his intertwined thoughts together ..." The statistician Gerd Bosbach criticized the theses put forward by Schirrmacher on the lack of children in Germany as an exaggeration that was not covered by the statistics.

His theses from Payback were criticized by Peter Kruse , who describes Schirrmacher as an “onlooker” who “makes mistakes in reasoning due to the one-sidedness of the perspective he has chosen”. The writer Peter Glaser criticized the fact that Schirrmacher's book contained “nonsense” on the one hand, such as the erroneous claim that the Google founders had built the first server, and on the other hand “chatter that reads so frantically that the author was afraid, understood Glaser's conclusion: “The attempt to recommend [...] to the digital mainstream as a connoisseur has already gone wrong."

On the occasion of the publication of the book Ego: Das Spiel des Leben in the monthly magazine Merkur , Joachim Rohloff demonstrated grammatical, stylistic and content errors in Payback using numerous examples and put the words in Schirrmacher's mouth: “Dear reader, I don't give a damn for a damn I serve you, because I know that you will eat him. "

The features editor of the Süddeutsche Zeitung , Andrian Kreye , who had been features editor of the FAZ under Schirrmacher, called him a "brilliant thinker, gifted journalist, cunning networker and brutal boss". He also accused him of intrigues.

Schirrmacher as a literary figure

Schirrmacher has appeared as a literary figure in Loslabern (2009) by Rainald Goetz , in the short story 10: 9 for Stroh (1998) by Eckhard Henscheid , in the satirical novel Angéla - Apprenticeship Years of a Love Hungry Man (2013) by Stefan Gärtner and in Thomas Steinfeld's Swedish thriller Der Sturm (2012), in which Schirrmacher becomes a murder victim. The plot of Angelika Klüssendorf's novel Years Later (2018) suggests parallels to the author's marriage to the FAZ editor. Schirrmacher is also said to have been parodied in the work of Dietmar Dath .

Frank Schirrmacher Foundation

After Schirrmacher's death, four personalities in journalistic life (the chairman of Axel Springer SE Mathias Döpfner , the banker and journalist Michael Gotthelf , the NZZ press editor Martin Meyer and the former FAZ publisher Günther Nonnenmacher ) founded a foundation named after him . It was initially endowed with 50,000 Swiss francs from private assets and is based in Küsnacht (Switzerland). In addition to the aforementioned persons, the Board of Trustees also includes Marco Solari , who is among other things a delegate of the Locarno Film Festival and the Eventi Letterari in Ascona . Members of an advisory board that has also been formed are: Schirrmacher's widow Rebecca Casati (chairman), the actor Christian Berkel , Urs Rohner (Chairman of the Board of Directors of Credit Suisse ), the Thomas Mann researcher Thomas Sprecher , Ulrich Wilhelm (director of Bayerischer Rundfunk ) and the Harvard Economics professor Shoshana Zuboff .

The purpose of the foundation is to pass on Schirrmacher's work and values. In particular, it awards an honorary award every year.

Frank Schirrmacher Prize

The Frank Schirrmacher Prize was awarded in 2015 and is endowed with 20,000 Swiss francs . It should honor renowned personalities and their work or a life's work for “outstanding achievements in understanding our current affairs”. The award ceremony takes place at three different locations every year: in Berlin , at the University of Zurich and at the Eventi Letterari series of events in Ascona . The jury consists of the members of the foundation board. The first award winner in 2015 was Hans Magnus Enzensberger ; the laudatory speech was given by Martin Mosebach . In 2016, the prize was awarded to Michel Houellebecq .

Frank urged me to write for the FAZ, which led to essays that, with my more monastic nature, might otherwise never have seen the light of day. I learned a lot from our endless discussions; It is thanks to him that my work on Big Other and surveillance capitalism became a useful frame of reference long before the completion of this book.
