Hermann Stegemann (journalist)
Hermann Stegemann ( pseudonym : Hermann Sentier ; born May 30, 1870 in Koblenz , † June 8, 1945 in Merligen , Canton Bern ) was a German - Swiss journalist and writer .
Life
Hermann Stegemann was the son of a Prussian official. After his father was transferred, he grew up bilingual in Alsace . His studies in philosophy and literary history , which took him to the universities of Munich and Zurich , he broke off without a degree and instead devoted himself to journalism and literature . From 1893 to 1902 he wrote political commentaries for the small newspaper from the Affoltern district . In 1894 he worked as a dramaturge at the Stadttheater Zürich and was also a member of the editorial team of the local theater and concert paper . From 1895 to 1906 he was an editor for the Basler Nachrichten . In 1901 he acquired Basel citizenship and thus Swiss citizenship . From 1907 to 1908 he was publisher and chief editor of the Basler messages and from 1912 literary editor of the in Bern appearing newspaper Der Bund . During the First World War he wrote a column for the same newspaper entitled Zur Kriegslage , which later appeared in book form under the title History of War . In 1922 and 1923 he gave lectures on war history and contemporary history at the University of Munich . After his return to Switzerland, he lived from 1923 as a freelance writer alternately in Lucerne , Merligen and Zurich .
In addition to his journalistic work, Hermann Stegemann wrote numerous novels , stories , poems and plays . As a supporter of a distinctly nationalist view of history , which made him welcome the National Socialist seizure of power in the 1930s , he often dealt with topics from the history of Alsace and the Alemannic countries.
Hermann Stegemann was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Freiburg im Breisgau in 1920 . In 1935 he received the Goethe Prize from the city of Frankfurt , and in 1939 the Rhenish Literature Prize . From 1933 he was a corresponding member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences . Ernst Jünger dedicated his famous war diary In Stahlgewittern to him . On the occasion of his 60th birthday, a street was named after him in Stegemann's native city of Koblenz.
