Hermann L. Gremliza

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Ludwig Gremliza (born November 20, 1940 in Cologne , † December 20, 2019 in Hamburg ) was a German journalist and writer . He was editor of the monthly magazine concrete since 1974 .

Life

Gremliza grew up in Gerlingen . His sister is the political scientist and publisher (Hamburg Konkret Literatur Verlag ) Dorothee Gremliza.

After graduating from the Eberhard-Ludwigs-Gymnasium in Stuttgart , he studied history and political science from 1960 to 1966 in Tübingen and at the Free University of Berlin . In Tübingen he published the student newspaper Notes on behalf of the local AStA .

He started out as an editorial assistant in 1966 and most recently worked as a senior editor in the politics department of Spiegel . As a result of a dispute with the editor Rudolf Augstein about editorial co-determination , Gremliza left the magazine at the end of 1971. From 1974 until his death he gave the monthly magazine concretely out. In addition to the editorial, he regularly published columns there, in which he critically examined positions in the mass media. He also conducted interviews with personalities from politics and culture at irregular intervals.

Gremliza was a sharp critic of the political situation in the Federal Republic of Germany and an avowed opponent of German patriotism and nationalism . In 1980 he supported the call for an anachronistic train against Franz Josef Strauss's candidacy for chancellor . In 1989 he left the SPD . One occasion was that the members of parliament of the SPD after the fall of the Wall on November 9 in the Bundestag spontaneously with the deputies of the CDU , CSU and FDP stood up to the German national anthem to sing. Gremliza recalled this scene on May 17, 1933, when the Social Democratic MPs rose together with the National Socialists to sing the anthem on the occasion of Hitler's "peace speech" . He was a communist .

In 1987 he publicly stated that as a ghostwriter for Günter Wallraff he had written his book Der Aufmacher about the Bild newspaper , which Wallraff did not deny "in essence" at the time.

In 1994, as an external consultant, he and Wiglaf Droste tried to reform the daily newspaper Junge Welt .

For published by magazine he actually wrote a month at least one political articles (Gremlizas column) and a voice criticism (Gremlizas Express) , in which he in the spirit of Karl Kraus from recent statements by politicians and other public persons the sentiments underlying extracted.

Gremliza was a representative of the left in solidarity with Israel.

Gremliza had been married since 1976 and had four children. He died in December 2019 at the age of 79 in Hamburg after a long and serious illness.
