Life

After graduating from the Philanthropinum Dessau , Biel studied German at the Humboldt University in Berlin . For the story Der Vogelherd he received the prize of the World Festival of Youth and Students in Warsaw in 1955 . 1956 to 1957 he was a research assistant for the German Writers' Association . In 1956 he worked together with Heinz Kahlau , Manfred Streubel and Jens Gerlach for more cultural freedom in the GDR . After he was accused of belonging to a group around Ernst Bloch and Hans Mayer in New Germany , he was expelled from the Writers' Union.

Bieler then undertook extensive trips through Europe and as far as Newfoundland . With his friend Johannes Bobrowski , he jokingly founded the New Friedrichshagener Poet Circle in 1962 . In a particularly productive collaboration with the radio dramaturge Wolfgang Beck , a whole series of internationally successful original radio plays were produced for GDR radio in close succession by the mid-1960s . In 1965 he moved to Prague . His play Zaza , which was submitted to the Volksbühne Berlin , earned him severe criticism from the Politburo of the Central Committee of the SED . The DEFA film The Rabbit I Am - directed by Kurt Maetzig - which was shot according to Manfred Bieler's scenario and was completed in the summer of 1965, was withdrawn from the previously granted performance permit. After the 11th plenum of the Central Committee of the SED in December 1965, the film was banned and only premiered in December 1989 at the Academy of Arts. The critical DEFA film productions of 1965 were insulted by Sindermann as " rabbit films ".

In 1967 he became a Czechoslovak citizen and joined the Czech Writers' Union in 1968. After the Warsaw Pact troops marched into Prague, he moved to the Federal Republic of Germany. In 1969 he was a visiting professor at the University of Texas and received the Andreas Gryphius Prize . In 1971 he became a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 1971 he received the Bavarian Art Prize and in 1977 the Jakob Kaiser Prize . Bieler last lived in Munich; he left two children.
