Georg Britting

Georg Britting

Georg Josef Britting (born February 17, 1891 in Regensburg , † April 27, 1964 in Munich ) was a German writer and poet . His work was influenced by literary expressionism ; Occasionally it is assigned to magical realism : seemingly idyllic images often develop unreal, disturbing, sometimes grotesque and frightening actions. Britting did not write in dialect ; His artistically composed language, however, reflects peculiarities of the southern German idiom in the structure of the sentence and choice of words. As a poet, Britting was a master of concentrated, “dense” statements, which rubbed off on his prose.

Life

Georg Britting was born in the Alte Manggasse in Regensburg; He grew up in Engelburgergasse near the Danube (hence the legend he nurtured himself that he was born “on a Danube island”). From 1911 he published poems, feature articles, book and theater reviews in the liberal Regensburger Neuesten Nachrichten . In 1913 his now-lost one-act cycle An der Schwelle was premiered in the Regensburg City Theater. In the same year Britting began studying at the Royal Academy for Agriculture and Brewery in Weihenstephan . From 1914 he took part in the First World War as a volunteer . Britting's poems appeared in army newspapers. In 1918 he returned to Regensburg as a lieutenant after being wounded twice and decorated with awards, joined the workers 'and soldiers' council there and became a theater critic for the social democratic Neue Donau-Post (from 1920 people's watch for Upper Palatinate and Lower Bavaria ).

Together with the painter Josef Achmann (1885–1958) he edited Die Sichel , a magazine for poetry and graphics. Here appeared u. a. the first version of Britting's short story Marion . In 1921 the sickle was discontinued due to inflation ; Britting followed Josef Achmann to Munich and worked as a freelance writer . He wrote for numerous newspapers and magazines, including the Frankfurter Zeitung and the Kölnische Zeitung . His pieces Das Storchennest (1922), Die Stubenfliege (premier Munich 1923) and Paula und Bianka (premier Dresden 1928) found less resonance than his poems and stories, some of which were reprinted several times in newspapers and magazines and also found their way into reading and found school books. In 1928 Britting won a main prize in the novella competition of the Berliner Illustrirten Zeitung and received a scholarship from Ullstein Verlag . In 1932 Britting published his only novel with the résumé of a fat man called Hamlet .

During the Nazi era, Britting published regularly in the literary magazine Das Innere Reich, edited by Paul Alverdes and Karl Benno von Mechow . His book Die kleine Welt am Strom (1933), Stories and Poems about Regensburg, had a total circulation of 50,000 copies. In 1935 he was awarded the Munich Poet Prize. In 1938 he acted as a judge of a poetry competition for the magazine Die Dame . His texts found their way into numerous school books of the “Third Reich”.

Britting benefited in part from his Munich publisher Langen-Müller , who tried to build him up as a folk- national author, an effort that Britting supported by repeatedly referring to his "front-line experience" in World War I. He presented himself in a self-written curriculum vitae, which he published in 1934 in the anthology Rufe in das Reich. The heroic poetry from Langemarck to the present was published: "Anyone who experienced and lived four years of trench community could no longer be anything other than national and social at the same time." In October 1936 he was one of the participants in the meeting of the war poets in Berlin, who sent a telegram to Hitler, in which they "pledged unchangeable loyalty to their Führer and Reich Chancellor in memory of the comradeship of the front and gratitude for the regaining of German defensiveness". Hans Sarkowicz and Alf Mentzer rate both Britting's attitude towards the “Third Reich” and the reactions of Nazi literary criticism to his work as continuously ambivalent. On the one hand, they refer to a poem that Britting wrote out of enthusiasm about the annexation of Austria to Hitler in 1938. In it Britting praised the "heroes of the battle" who had achieved what "no longer dared to hope for". On the other hand, Sarkowicz and Mentzer name the poem The Voluntary Boys , in which Britting dealt critically a year later with the fallen soldiers of Langemarck , heroized by the National Socialists . The Viennese NS student leader Robert Müller and the head of the Viennese cultural office Gerhard Stenzel complained to the editor of the magazine Das Innere Reich . After the German occupation of Poland , well over 50 articles by Britting appeared in the Krakauer Zeitung , the Nazi organ for the occupied Polish general government . Since he felt struck by Thomas Mann's criticism of the writers of the so-called Inner Emigration ( a smell of blood and shame clings to them ), he demonstratively stayed away from the reception of the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in honor of Mann in 1949 .

Britting married the actress Ingeborg Fröhlich in 1946 (born August 31, 1918 - October 18, 2011). From 1951 he lived with her on Sankt-Anna-Platz in Munich, where he also died. His Munich circle of friends included u. a. the colleagues Eugen Roth , Georg von der Vring , Georg Schneider and Curt Hohoff . He was a member of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts , where he worked with Clemens Podewils and supported young authors such as Cyrus Atabay , Heinz Piontek and Albert von Schirnding . He was elected to the Berlin Academy of the Arts in 1958 and received further prizes and awards in the 1950s and 1960s.
