Ludwig Harig
Ludwig Harig (born July 18, 1927 in Sulzbach / Saar ; † May 5, 2018 there ) was a German writer and literary translator .
Life
Ludwig Harig attended a national political educational institution and described himself as an “enthusiastic young Nazi” during the time of National Socialism , whose development into a democrat he dealt with in his autobiographical texts, for example in Who howls with the wolves becomes a wolf .
Harig had been an elementary school teacher since 1950, took a leave of absence in 1970 and finished school in 1974. From then on he worked as a freelance writer.
As early as the mid-1950s, he published smaller literary texts in literary magazines and anthologies. Due to the intensive contact with the Stuttgart group around Max Bense , he became an important exponent of Concrete Poetry with his experimental texts, especially his permutations . At the same time and increasingly in the 1960s, he continued to develop the radio play, mainly using collaged original sounds . For his audio collage State Funeral about the state funeral of Konrad Adenauer , a broadcast and publication ban was temporarily imposed. Soon the first independent book publications appeared, in which he perfected his assembly and collage technique. Harig also translated French literature , especially works by Raymond Queneau , whose style also greatly influenced his writing. Harig also wrote texts in Saarland dialect .
Harig was first known to a larger audience in 1986 through his great time novel Order is the whole life , in which he also processed his own youth and the history of his family based on the life story of his father. Riha describes Harig's style: “Beyond the purely content-related, it is of structural importance that the author is less concerned with retelling a linear life story than with trying to use numerous details that have been preserved in the memory as idioms, gestures and behavior to draw the trace of her father's existence and to elicit the 'secret' that surrounded her all her life ”(quoted from KLG ). This first volume of his autobiographical trilogy of novels was followed in 1990 as the second part Weh dem, who dances out of line and in 1996 the conclusion with Who howls with the wolves becomes wolf .
Harig was a member of the PEN Center Germany , the German Academy for Language and Poetry Darmstadt, the Mainz Academy of Sciences and Literature and the Mannheim Free Academy of the Arts . He lived and worked in his home town of Sulzbach / Saar until his death.
