Life
Georg Hoprich was born as the son of a farmer in Thalheim (Daia) near Hermannstadt ( Sibiu ). He attended grammar school in Sibiu and from 1956 studied German in Bucharest . He was imprisoned in 1961 after a show trial for a single "anti-state" poem ("We are a pale people"). After his release in 1964, he continued to be spied on by the Securitate .
