Oskar Wiener

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oskar Wiener (born March 4, 1873 in Prague ; † April 20, 1944 in Theresienstadt concentration camp ) was a German- Czechoslovakian author.

Life

On his various journeys as a minstrel through Bohemia , Wiener collected German, Czech and Jewish legends . They served as a template for ballads and pranks written by him. He wrote German-language novels, short stories and poems, which often dealt with his hometown Prague and its residents. Wiener belonged to the center of the Prague circle of poets at the turn of the 20th century. In his works, unlike many of his fellow writers, he was rooted in tradition and painted the picture of a lovable, romantic, Biedermeier -looking city. He also edited anthologies of works by Prague poets. The collection of German poets from Prague , published in 1919, was particularly successful .

A Viennese diner and city guide for the writer Detlev von Liliencron was repeated .

After the occupation of the so-called "rest of Czech Republic " by the National Socialist German Reich in 1939, Wiener stayed in Prague. He was deported to Theresienstadt on July 6, 1942 as inmate No. 403 with Transport AAn, where he was murdered on April 20, 1944, according to the data of the Czech victims' database and the Yad Vashem Memorial .
