Life
Paula Köhlmeier was born as one of four children to the writer couple Monika Helfer and Michael Köhlmeier . She attended grammar school in Dornbirn and after an eight-month stay in Mexico studied at the Vienna Film Academy . In 2002 she received the Vorarlberg Literature Scholarship . In summer 2003 she had a fatal accident in Vorarlberg while hiking to the Alt-Ems castle ruins near Hohenems.
Her posthumous prose was published in February 2005 by Zsolnay-Verlag under the title Maramba . 47 pieces deal with “people who hear the magic of words, who approach each other and want to find themselves in the other; beginning relationships, fleeting, unfulfilled and with an open end; abysmal conditions, fantastic dreams, vague hopes ”. The literary estate of Köhlmeier also includes an almost finished novel, two scripts and numerous exposés.
Her father addresses the issue of her death in the 2008 novella Idylle mit drowning dog and in Madalyn, published in 2010 . Also, Before I Can Sleep (published by her mother in 2010) has a reference to her passing.
Michael Denhoff composed a maramba for flute (also bass flute ) and celesta as op. 100 in memory of Paula Köhlmeier.
