The list of participants in the group 47 includes authors and writers, critics and guests between the years 1947 and 1967 at a writers meeting of the Group 47 took part. For the sake of completeness, the subsequent anniversary meetings in 1972, 1977 and 1990 are also listed. The participants in the group meetings are often referred to as members of Group 47 . In fact, Group 47 did not have a fixed membership structure, but was based solely on the invitations from its organizer Hans Werner Richter , which Helmut Heißenbüttel summed up: “There is only one member of Group 47: there are lists that include this one member of the group 47 kept safe, transformed into invitations. If there are no members of Group 47, there are participants in meetings of Group 47. The number of participants fluctuates. There are those who are invited once and those who are invited again. There are those who are invited and come and those who are invited and do not come. "
A distinction must be made between several forms of participants in Group 47: authors who actively read their works at a conference, pure critics who assessed the texts read out as part of the subsequent group criticism, as well as representatives from publishers , the press and broadcasters as well as other guests, who attended the meetings as observers. In addition to this function, the list shows the year of first participation in a group conference, if this is known. The participants of the founding meeting at Bannwaldsee as well as the winners of the Group 47 award are marked under remark . The main source of the list is the handbook Die Gruppe 47 - Report Critique Polemik by Reinhard Lettau . However, the data based on records and the memory of Hans Werner Richter are not complete and the year of the first participation is partly unsecured. If other sources prove the participation of other authors, these will also be included. The list can be sorted according to the respective columns.
