Ingeborg Katharina Reitz was the daughter of Hans and Klara Sbresny. She grew up in the Neustadt district of Mainz . Childhood during the Nazi era was shaped by the war, the bombing raids and the destruction of Mainz . Due to the turmoil of World War II , she had to leave grammar school without a high school diploma, but still attended literature lectures at the University of Mainz for several semesters . From 1949 to 1957 she worked for the music publisher Schott . In 1953 she married Helmut Reitz and from then on called herself Inge Reitz-Sbresny as a writer. She lived in Mainz, later at times also in the Hunsrück .

Inge Reitz-Sbresny is not only closely connected to the city of Mainz through birth and place of residence, but above all through the choice of the Mainz dialect for her literary work. She chose the dialect as a stylistic device at a time when it was not yet in fashion.

Her early texts, monologues and dialogues , which were broadcast on Südwestfunk , were initially recorded there herself. During dialogues, her husband Helmut occasionally took over the male role.

The first volume of short stories , Määnzer Geschwätz , was self-published in 1955. In the following years she published numerous volumes of stories, articles in anthologies , magazines and newspapers. For decades, texts were broadcast on the radio ( Südwestfunk and Saarländischer Rundfunk ). She has given many hundreds of readings in Mainz and the surrounding area.

In 1980 she won the dialect competition of the city of Mainz (1st prize for poetry), in 1981 the prize of Emichsburg Bockenheim , in 1984 the prize for wine journalism, Munich, for Redde mer vom Woi .

In 1982, her volume of poetry Besser als wie nix was published . At the same time she was active in the Mainz authors' group. Mainz cultural projects such as the Kulturtelefon (1980) or the Mainz poster poem (1984) started with their texts.

From 1985 she published a weekly column in the Mainzer Allgemeine Zeitung , which made her known to a wide audience in Mainz. 658 columns were published. She also published series on the radio: Dialect Riddles and First Thoughts , which were regularly broadcast in the early hours of the morning.

In 1989, her High German story Visiting Time was published : A woman in a retirement home tells about her life. The text was well received, but did not bring her an artistic breakthrough on the High German book market.

In 1997 she won the second prize in the Palatinate Dialect Theater Prize of the city of Frankenthal with the play The President . The comedy was performed in Frankenthal, broadcast on television and published by Deutsches Theaterverlag . A second comedy Thea Boland also appeared there . In 2000, Der Suppenschmecker was a collection of high German stories.

Voices about Inge Reitz-Sbresny

Jens Beutel , Mayor of Mainz:

“Inge Reitz-Sbresny's work always reflects the thinking and feeling, the essence of the Mainz people. Her poems and stories have the typical Mainz humor and a mixture of joy and pain. Her literary work was both profound and down-to-earth in the most pleasant sense. "

Marianne Grosse , Head of Cultural Affairs in Mainz:

“Inge Reitz-Sbresny was not only a popular author in the region, but also an opinionated woman throughout her life. She never minced words and said in an interview on the occasion of her 65th birthday: 'Well, yes. I say what I want, I write what I want. This is how we will remember the great dialect author. "

Anton Maria Keim , Head of Culture in Mainz, wrote in a review of the volume of poems Besser als wie nix :

“Anyone who suspects home-style cooking in this (...) small volume (...) should be careful, be prepared for reading. (...) It is much more the sharp spirit of Heine, Brecht and Kästner that blows - and you can smell their world of forms. Such is the legacy of Inge Reitz-Sbresny's most recent poems! (...) They are never big words (...). Not a word is too much, Inge Reitz-Sbresny shows her poetic asceticism in omitting. (...) There is a lot of funny and funny talk in these poems, it is also bad for the kidneys if you think your way around. Dialect fashion wasn't necessary for Inge Reitz-Sbresny! She has gone her own way of condensation, precision and formal rigor. Anyone who expects idyll and little people philosophy should not open the ribbon. Because no author - as he likes in the dialect Bütt - speaks to the audience by the mouth. Here - also the world of Mainz becomes 'questionable'! Anyone who has an antenna for this will respond with pleasure to the form, to the thoughts with dismay, to the path of the author Reitz-Sbresny with respect. "
