from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Schwarzbauer (born November 8, 1953 in Engelburgsried , municipality of Bergern near Deggendorf ) is a German literary scholar and cultural manager .

Life

Schwarzbauer grew up on his parents' farm in Engelburgsried in the Bavarian Forest. From 1964 to 1973 he attended the humanistic grammar school of the Benedictine abbey in Metten . He then studied German, philosophy and history from 1973 to 1975 in Erlangen and from 1975 to 1980 in Konstanz . He completed his studies with the first state examination. In 1990 he received his doctorate with a study of the history of literature on the Xenia of Goethe and Schiller, which was awarded the prize for the promotion of young scientists in the city of Constance. At the same time, Schwarzbauer was involved in the Konstanz municipal cinema from 1975 to 1990 . From 1990 to 1993 he worked as a copywriter for the Schindler & Parent agency in Meersburg.

From 1993 to 2003 he headed the cultural office of the city of Meersburg . From 2003 to 2019 worked in the same position in Ravensburg . During his term of office, two events of supraregional importance occurred, which he largely accompanied on the part of the city: the erection of the memorial of the Gray Buses , which commemorates the victims of the so-called euthanasia in the former sanatorium and nursing home in Weißenau, and the construction and opening of the Ravensburg Art Museum . He was also responsible for the program for the concert and theater season in the Ravensburg Konzerthaus .

In his writings, Schwarzbauer deals, among other things, with the life and work of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff and Ernst Jünger , who had worked in his professional fields of Meersburg and Ravensburg.

Since 2012, Franz Schwarzbauer has been on the board of the Goethe-Gesellschaft Ravensburg e. V., which he co-founded, the maintenance and communication of classic and newer literature. Since the summer semester of 2019 he has been teaching at the University of Konstanz in the German Studies department. The main focus of his university activities is modern poetry.

Franz Schwarzbauer lives in Ravensburg.
