Hans Daiber (journalist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Daiber (born May 9, 1927 in Breslau ; † September 18, 2013 in Bonn ) was a German journalist and author .

Live and act

From 1951 he worked as a radio editor at Südfunk Stuttgart , then until the autumn of 1962 as a dramaturge for television plays at Radio Bremen and then only for a short time as a feature editor and theater critic for the Deutsche Zeitung with the business newspaper in Cologne, in which he had already published since 1959. He then worked as a freelance writer.

In 1965, Langen Müller Verlag published his book Theater, a balance sheet , the oldest ascertainable source of theater wisdom: “Critics are like eunuchs, they say, they know how to do it, but they can't” (p. 165). This was followed by arguments for Lazarus - comic, ironic and draconian Stories (1966), before Germany warns - 17 exemplary CVs (1967) and duplicity (novel 1969). The Molden-Verlag brought out Daibers Gerhart Hauptmann or The Last Classic in 1971 and Philipp Reclam in 1976 his Deutsches Theater since 1945 . In the 1970s Daiber became a writer and editor at Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln . In 1974 his radio play Incident was broadcast there, a fictional "live" report on the collapse of Cologne Cathedral .

Daiber wrote u. a. also for Rheinischer Merkur and from 1961 to 1986 for Die Zeit . In 1990 Suhrkamp published a new edition of Friedrich Michael's history of German theater that he updated . In 1995 Daiber published Schaufenster der dictatorship with the publishing house Günther Neske - theater in Hitler's sphere of influence and then occasionally wrote for Die Welt . In an interview with this newspaper, Swetlana Geier reported in 2003, when asked about the “hour of birth” as a translator, that Hans Daiber, whom she knew very well from university, copied her first translation for her and it was through his acquaintance with Ernesto Grassi at Rowohlt Verlag housed.

Hans Daiber was buried in an urn in the mausoleum of Carstanjen in Bad Godesberg-Plittersdorf on October 7, 2013 after a memorial service in the chapel of the Augustinum Bonn .
