Helmut Schoepke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helmut Schoepke (born January 11, 1903 , † March 29, 1996 ) was a German poet , publisher and author .

Life

In the second half of the 1920s, Schoepke owned his own publishing house in Glogau , the Helmut Schoepke Verlag, and later acquired the Friedrich Stollberg bookstore in Merseburg , founded in 1816 by Ernst Christian Klein , which Stollberg had taken over in 1851 and named after himself. To this day, it is considered an institution of the city and its oldest still existing company. In 1930 Schoepke met the state politician and writer Siegfried Berger (1891-1946). As a result, Schoepke very successfully published all of Berger's works, who was one of the most popular authors of that time in Saxony-Anhalt. Both got caught during the Nazi erain turbulence; Schoepke retreated into a kind of inner emigration and remained steadfast in the face of National Socialist pressure on his publishing bookstore.

In 1977 Schoepke moved from the GDR to the Federal Republic.

Schoepke died at the age of 93. He was buried in the Sontheim Südfriedhof in Heilbronn .
