Life

After primary school in Lower Saxony, Grunenberg entered the grammar school at the Kaiserdom and the Bischöfliche Konvikt in Speyer. There he developed an interest in literature and theater and played leading roles in plays by Nestroy, Preussler and Shakespeare. Grunenberg began an internship in 1959 and then an apprenticeship as a brewer and maltster.

After his training he studied brewing at the TH / TU-Munich-Weihenstephan and graduated in 1965 as a master brewer . During his studies he was a corps student (Donaria). He then worked for 15 years as a master brewer and technical manager and examined and modified the Nakagawa medium, which was used to control pure yeast. During this time, various articles by Grunenberg were published in specialist journals on the subject of operational controls.

He then worked for 20 years as a clinic supervisor in the pharmaceutical industry. During this time he published "Children of Kronos", "The Aquarius" and "Helles Land".

He has co-authored various illustrated books with Gunther Hartwich. Including "Hungary is more", "Middle Franconia", "Life in Nuremberg", "Prichsenstadt" and "Iphofen". He then worked as an author in the READERS EDITION Internet forum . There he published book reviews, the satirical series "Lyrieleison", "Franconian medallions", "On the trail of literature" and "Traumbild Heimat".

In 2015, he published his adventurous escape as a child and his youth in the Episcopal Konvikt in Speyer in “A Childhood and Youth in the 20th Century”. In “Glücksweg” he tells the continuation of his vita, whereby he and his wife occasionally act as protagonists, thus evoking an often ironic situation when viewed from a distance. In 2016, “Roter Klatschmohn sprang aus den Feldern” was a lyrical anthology with texts that were written over 40 years and that he occasionally did not withhold from his friends. "Weltenklang" with a dramatic-lyrical reference to a possible fate of our "Blue Planet" was followed by the rather cheerful volume of poetry "Drei Mützen im Brunnen". With "In Search of the Golden Apples of the Hesperides", the author is releasing his entire prose as a trilogy in 2017, which includes his two biographies and a third part with short prose, his own and others' poetry.
