Life

Kajo Lang grew up in the Münsterland and discovered late that he had been adopted. In addition to the search for his roots, Lang studied German , literature and theater studies in Hanover and Freiburg im Breisgau . He graduated from a journalism school with the help of a special gift from the state of Baden-Württemberg . He then worked as a press officer for IG Metall , in 1990 he switched to the former GDR radio station in Schwerin , which was called Radio Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (RMV, today NDR ) after the fall of the Wall . He then worked as a correspondent at the European Parliament in Strasbourg . In 1993 he became editor-in-chief of a media agency in Karlsruhe.

In 2005, Lang published the autobiographical-based novel “ accepted ”, in which one's own search for existence is interwoven as a synonym for the microscopically precise description of post-war Germany.

In 2008 - after 31 years of searching - Lang found his US brother and three sisters, also in the US . Kajo Lang works as a freelance journalist and screenwriter for various TV stations and has been chairman of the Baden-Baden / Rastatt district association of the German Association of Journalists (DJV) since 2007 . Kajo Lang has lived in Baden-Baden since 1998.

Lang is the author of novels, short stories, short stories, plays, children's books, poems, poem stories and television scripts. His topics range from liberation, the search for meaning, existential questions to amok . In 1990, Lang initiated the world's first empirical survey on amok research at the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law and Forensic Psychology at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg , with Helmut Kury . This resulted in Lang's story "Amok" in 1991.

Kajo Lang is the inventor of the PoemStory.

"Lang's work is impressively topical in the most critical form, because it cuts a pinch, almost hurtful, on the nerve of the times." - Literary Society Karlsruhe, Allmende No. 83, June 2009 edition
