Çelik has written various books; In addition to the publication of several non-fiction books on migration topics, the sociologist published volumes of poetry from 1982 , later also fairy tales , short stories and satires . Even as a schoolboy he wrote poems and prose texts in Turkish. Since 1990, however, he has only been writing and publishing in German. In his texts, as in his everyday work, he circles “like a bird around the topics of flight, wars and poverty”, advocates for people who “experience discrimination in everyday life” in the hope “that one day there will only be one more There will be a home for the homeless, which no longer differentiates according to nationality or skin color. "

Hıdır E. Çelik was awarded the Rhineland Valley Culture Prize on April 4, 2006 by the Rhineland Regional Council for his services in the cultural / literary field as well as for promoting the intercultural coexistence of cultures . “As a 'border crosser' between Orient and Occident, between Islamic and Christian religion, but always as an actor and source of inspiration, you moved between different cultures and campaigned for a migration policy that looks beyond the day-to-day, beyond everyday life. (…) Literature is an excellent means of creating connections, connections between cultures, between distances, between peoples. The love of literature is always also a love of people - literature builds bridges and, last but not least, you have formulated that as a wish for the future. "

Çelik is the initiator of the Bonn book fair Migration , which takes place every two years in the House of History . For his socio-political and literary commitment, Çelik was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit on ribbon by the Federal President. The Cross of Merit was presented on June 22, 2016 in Düsseldorf by the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Hannelore Kraft.
