Life

Martin Stade was the son of a bricklayer and a factory worker. He did an apprenticeship as a radio mechanic from 1946 to 1949. From 1949 to 1958 he was a functionary in the FDJ . From 1951 he was an employee of the western department of the Central Council of the FDJ in Berlin. He was the instructor of the FDJ in Berlin-Steglitz and in Berlin-Wedding . From May 1952 he was the first secretary of the FDJ in Berlin-Kreuzberg . In November 1952 he received an association penalty for “lack of revolutionary vigilance” and in April 1953 a reprimand for “poor work ethic”.

Martin Stade was an FDJ functionary until 1958, teacher at a school of the Central Council of the FDJ, instructor and 2nd FDJ secretary of the Arnstadt district . He worked as a teacher for Marxism-Leninism at the district school Erfurt and a school of the Central Council of the FDJ. He was the FDJ secretary of the VEB Fernmeldewerk Arnstadt.

From 1959 to 1963 and from 1966 to 1967 he worked as a lathe operator at VEB Chemieanlagenbau Erfurt-Rudisleben. From 1963 to 1966 he worked as a crane operator in the agricultural sector in Haarhausen. In 1967 he worked as an editor in the district cabinet for cultural work.

Since 1969 he has been a freelance writer . 1967-68 he studied at the Institute of Literature Johannes R. Becher in Leipzig , however, was "because of different cultural and political views" relegated . After Wolf Biermann's expatriation , he resigned from the GDR Writers' Association , which severely restricted his publication opportunities in the GDR . On the other hand, its effect in the West was impaired by the fact that it was regarded as a kind of "quasi- dissident ".

After Stade had described village life in the GDR in his early narrative works and later dealt with historical material, his last publication Vom Bernsteinzimmer in Thuringen and other hollow spaces was about the mysterious final phase of World War II in his Thuringian homeland. This is a fictional narrative based on little-known historical facts.

Stade was a member of the PEN Center Germany .
