Nuremberg Authors' Talks

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nuremberg Authors' Talks were founded in 1995 by Reinhard Knodt and Peter Horst Neumann with Renate Schmidt , Hans Wollschläger , Hans Christoph Buch and other well-known authors and public figures in the FRG. They took place about every two years. During the discussions between regional and nationally known authors, a contemporary political issue was discussed in public in connection with literature , recorded for the radio and then made into a radio broadcast. The talks developed very quickly from an initially regional and federal German to an international platform for literature and political discussion.

For the 6th Nuremberg Authors' Talks, which were organized for the first time together with the city of Nuremberg, well-known Jewish authors from all over Europe and Israel met in the Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds in 2005 to discuss the question of a special European identity and the task of Jewish literature for to discuss a developing Europe. For three days, Peter Brod (Prague), Hans Christoph Buch (Berlin), Gisela Dischner (Hanover), Gert Heidenreich (Starnberg), Jaromir Konecny (Prague), Wehwalt Koslovsky (Prague), Magdalena Marsovszky (Budapest / Munich), Georg Graf von Matuschka (Erlangen), Amir Or (Tel Aviv), Eva Profousová (Prague), Doron Rabinovici (Vienna), Asher Reich (Tel Aviv), Richard Chaim Schneider (Jerusalem / Munich), Julius H. Schoeps (Potsdam) , Gabor T. Szántó (Budapest), Andrea Wisniowski (Bucharest / Nuremberg) and Katarzyna Zimmerer (Krakow). This last high point also marked the end of the ambitious series, as the city did not allow the efforts or financial security for the tasks of the main organizers (Reinhard Knodt, Michael Schels, Hans Christof Buch) to be stabilized.
