Jupp Müller (writer)

Jupp Müller (born December 28, 1921 in Weipert , Czechoslovakia , † September 8, 1985 in Berlin ) was a German writer .

life and work

Müller initially worked as a baker and in open-cast lignite mining and was a union official . In the 1950s he became a writer who preferred short forms, especially poetry and aphorism . His first volume of poetry in 1959 shows which authors were his literary and political role models: Wladimir Mayakowski , Kurt Barthel and Erich Weinert . The volume Poetic Hurdles runs contains sports poems. Müller, a graduate of the "Johannes R. Becher" literary institute , headed the circle of writing workers and gave the anthologies Das uns Gemiges. Poetry anthology of writing workers (1970) and Who are you who write? Lyric Workers Writing (1972). The literary scholar Friedemann Spicker rates the quality of his aphorisms as low, because they "are deeply embedded in the socialist working life of the brigades and collectives and may therefore still satisfy literary-sociological interests in individual cases ..."

Müller, who was an enthusiastic mushroom collector and took up this in some poems, died in a forest in the north of East Berlin . Most recently he had worked on a two-volume novel .
