Life
After graduating from high school at the humanistic Karl-Friedrich-Gymnasium in Mannheim , he first studied law in Bonn, Freiburg and Heidelberg and passed the first state examination there. After completing his legal traineeship, he passed the second state examination in 1977 in Düsseldorf and then worked for a major bank until 1992, most recently at its headquarters in Frankfurt / Main, responsible for Eastern Europe and then as authorized signatory in Munich.
He is admitted to the bar and trained in music and spoken theater. In 1990 he moved to Weimar in the new federal states . In Erfurt , under his subsequent guidance, he built the European Art and Culture Center with several important events, such as Czech and Jewish cultural days.
Mühlenfels developed his own special, dramatically structured form of theater and literature in a combination of poetry, prose and contemporary modern music. In 1998 he performed his “Polish Elegy” in this form in Wrocław / Poland at the Center for Contemporary Theater (Teatr Sztuki Impart), which was broadcast on Polish television. The Polish translation comes from the Dedecius Prize winner Ryszard Wojnakowski, Krakow. In 2003, his monologue "Execution Limited" was performed over several seasons at the German National Theater in Weimar. The play is critical of the death penalty in America .
Most of his theatrical and literary topics deal with questions of human identity and crossing borders. He is a long-standing member and curator, and several times also spokesman for the board of trustees of the Collegium Europaeum Jenense at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena , an association of university teachers, politicians and artists in Europe. He is a member of the Dramaturgical Society and the International Theater Institute .
He is divorced, has three daughters and lives in Potsdam.
