Lorenz Schröter (born May 11, 1960 in Munich ) is a German writer and journalist .

Life

After attending the Waldorf School in Munich, Lorenz Schröter became known as a punk musician in the early 1980s . Together with Florian Süssmayr (piano) and Ian Moorse he performed under the name Lorenz Lorenz . He studied communication science at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and graduated in 1986 with a master's degree . He then started a career as a journalist. Among other things, he wrote for the magazines Elaste and Tempo and made his first radio experience in spark radio on Bayern 2 . He wrote two volumes of pop literary short stories and two operas.

Between 1987 and 1989 Schröter rode his bike around the world. He wore five wheels in the process. His path began and ended in Munich and led him through North Africa, Asia and Central America back to Europe. During this time he repeatedly sent travel reports that he had recorded on music cassette to the Zündfunks editorial office, which were edited by the director Nikolai von Koslowski in the series "Blitzventil" and sent at irregular intervals on the Zündfunk. From 1993 he lived for three years on Cheung Chau, a small island off Hong Kong .

Lorenz Schröter traveled to Los Angeles in 1991 for Tempo magazine to interview the actor Klaus Kinski . Because Kinski refused the fixed meeting after an initial contact in a parking lot and only spoke to the author on the phone, Schröter recorded the phone calls made in LA on tape. They appeared in 2006 as an original audio play under the title “Die Kinski-Bänder” on WDR .

In 1998 he moved from the Hunsrück to Magdeburg with the Poitou donkey Bella . He wrote his first novel and a radio feature about it. In 1999 he was an editor at Zeitmagazin for a short time . His homage to the sea "The Little Kielschwein" has been translated into four languages. During this time, around 2006, he also worked for Mare magazine .

Today Schröter writes radio features for various radio stations of the ARD. He lives in Berlin and has a daughter.
