Hartmut Geerken

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hartmut Geerken (born January 15, 1939 in Stuttgart ) is a German musician, composer, writer, publicist, radio play author and filmmaker.

Life

Geerken studied Oriental Studies, Philosophy, German Studies and Comparative Religious Studies in Tübingen and Istanbul, where he also began a dissertation with Hellmut Ritter . He then gave German courses for the first Turkish migrant workers in Anatolia who were to go to Germany. From 1966 to 1972 in Cairo, 1972 to 1979 in Kabul and 1979 to 1983 in Athens, he worked as an employee at the Goethe Institute , and has lived in Herrsching am Ammersee ever since .

Services

Geerken is active as an organizer, coordinator and artist. As a percussionist he worked with various free jazz and avant-garde musicians (e.g. Sun Ra , John Tchicai , Sainkho Namtchylak , Salah Ragab and Rudi Theilmann ). As a poet, he is the protagonist of Concrete Poetry and organized performances , such as the New Poetry Colloquium in Bielefeld. As an actor and composer he was active in six films by Herbert Achternbusch and appeared as an actor in two plays by Achternbusch at the Münchner Kammerspiele . In 1991/92 he held the chair for poetics (interactive radio play) at the Folkwang Hochschule Essen.

Geerken has also made an outstanding contribution to the memory of the German writer Anselm Ruest . When, on the trail of Victor Hadwiger's estate , he was investigating a no longer inhabited house in southern France, he found parts of the estate of Anselm Ruest, who died in 1943, instead. Ruest was, initially together with Mynona , the editor of the Stirnerian magazine Der Einzige , which appeared in small editions from 1919 to 1925. Thanks to the discovery of the estate, it was possible to compile a complete set of the magazine and publish it as a reprint in 1980. The "Stirnerbund" founded by Ruest in 1919, which existed until the mid-1920s, Geerken tried to renew with the "International Stirnerbund" when he became its 1st chairman in 1994 (after Herbert Kapfer ).
