Life
Wolf Dieter Kühne's father , Herbert Kühne, was a secondary school teacher in Roßwein , his mother Annelise, née Zacharias, was a doctor's assistant and, after Wolf's birth, a housewife. The father died in Russia in 1943. The mother moved to Döbeln with her now three children . Here Wolf graduated from the Lessing High School in 1956 and then went to the Berlin-Babelsberg Film School .
Shortly afterwards he fled to West Berlin and from there to West Germany. There he worked as an unskilled worker in the Ruhr area in mining, industry and agriculture.
In the meantime, the mother had also fled with the two sisters and lived, newly married, in Wittlich near Trier. But always - since his school days in Döbeln - he dealt intensively with literature and also wrote himself.
He went to Vienna to a former school friend and began to study theater studies. But even there, as in West Germany, the GDR high school diploma was not recognized. He was supposed to do the Austrian Matura. Wolf surrendered to the great Latinum and took a job as an assistant director at the Saarbrücken television station.
In 1965 he worked as a director. At the Iserlohner Volksbühne he worked as a dramaturge and actor. Between 1968 and 1971, after an internship at the Westfalenpost, he worked as a journalist for various daily newspapers. For a long time he lived in the north . Around 1994 he lived in Elaiochorion , Greece for a long time .
