Stasi charge and suicide

From November 1991, F. Eckhard Ulrich was accused of working for the State Security Service of the GDR ( Stasi ) as an unofficial employee (IM). The Stasi records authority, headed by Joachim Gauck at the time, confirmed this, although it turned out that the Stasi described the cooperation as unproductive, so the IM process was discontinued and an operational process was made from it. F. Eckhard Ulrich was increasingly isolated, staged a public agitation. In 1992 he took his own life because of it. He was only subsequently rehabilitated.

poetry

F. Eckhard Ulrich's role model was Gottfried Benn . From around 1953 he began to take a literary stand on significant political events, to express himself and often question them with foresight. A large number of poems date from the 1950s and 1960s. It was his most creative phase. He belonged to the Halle artists' circle around the writers Sarah and Rainer Kirsch , who dissolved in 1968 after their divorce and Sarah Kirsch's move to West Berlin. With Sarah Kirsch, he translated Russian poetry, which appeared in 1968, while a collection of Ulrich's poems compiled by a friend of his publishing editor was not allowed to appear. However, some were then published in anthologies. From 1968 onwards, Ulrich's texts no longer appear. He continued to write poetry until 1981, then followed a longer break and it was not until 1990 that a literary reference was found again.
