Paul Ernst Society

The Paul Ernst Society is a registered association dedicated to the development and preservation of the literary works of Paul Ernst (1866–1933). The company was founded immediately after Ernst's death in 1933 and re-established in 1956 after the Second World War . It is recognized as worthy of culturally and scientifically funding and is open to natural persons and corporations.

goals and tasks

The society would like to contribute to the preservation and publication of Ernst's literary legacy, promote performances of his dramas, initiate publications and symposia with readings and lectures that focus on his person or his work, and contribute to the preservation of the memorials for Paul Ernst. For these purposes, the Paul Ernst Archive is to be gradually expanded and used, which is available at the University Library of Regensburg (Paul Ernst Archive / Kutzbach Collection), at the University of Bochum (Paul Ernst private library) and in the German Literature Archive Marbach (estate) .

history

The literary society was founded in July 1933, just two months after Paul Ernst's death. The founding group consisted largely of friends, supporters and students of the poet, who subsequently published a large number of publications and organized numerous events. Paul Ernst's widow Else Ernst (1874–1946) also took part in readings from her late husband's work. It influenced the development of the company by, for example, moving the company's headquarters to Graz in 1942 .

Karl August Kutzbach (1903–1992), friend and estate administrator of Paul Ernst, who researched extensively and throughout his life into his person and work, became an important figure in the association . He wrote most of the older research literature on Paul Ernst. In addition to his niece, the doctor and art collector Hildegard Blanke (* 1938) and Heinrich Steinmeyer (1908–2001), both of whom were managing directors, he made a significant contribution to the company's continued existence.

Publications

Newsletters and the magazine “Der Wille zur Form” were published at irregular intervals. In addition, annual editions were issued for members.
