Peter Adler (Author)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Adler (born May 4, 1923 in Dresden , † February 28, 2012 in Grünenbach ) was a German writer.

Life

Adler was born to the couple Helmut and Armgart Adler. He grew up in Berlin and was called up in 1941. After the war he studied German in Mainz and Tübingen.

In the immediate post-war years, Adler went through a period of hardship. Although he was initially enrolled as a student in Mainz, he moved to Tübingen in 1947 with his girlfriend and later wife Katharina. There he lived temporarily in a men's hospice and then in a garden house without water or electricity on the outskirts of the city, as apartments were hard to find in the years after the war.

Adler initially worked in the radio sector at Südfunk , where he was one of the program's pioneers alongside Helmut Jedele , Hans Gottschalk, Martin Walser and Heinz Huber. The recent German past was a main focus of his work. In 1954 and 1956 he worked for the newly founded documentary film department of the Süddeutscher Rundfunk . The television documentaries "Das Bread des Painter Luschek" (1954), "Tipanes Klagen" (1955), "In Tyrannos" (1955) and " Die Vergessenen " (1956) were created with his collaboration . He was one of the authors of the documentary series "Signs of the Times" of the SDR. “Die Vergessenen” was originally a radio feature written by Adler in 1955 that dealt with the fate of German-Jewish emigrants in Paris who received no compensation after the end of World War II and who lived in poor circumstances. The feature was filmed in 1956 by Peter Dreessen (director) for SDR . After Adler left SDR in 1955 to work as a freelance writer, he continued to write feature and television plays. He later worked alongside SDR for WDR , ZDF and Bavaria-Atelier GmbH (today: Bavaria Film) .

Together with Hermann Levin Goldschmidt , Adler was the first recipient of the Leo Baeck Prize in 1957 , which he received for his documentary film "The Forgotten". Peter Adler had been married to Katharina Adler since 1947 , with whom he initially lived as a student in the Ammertal near Tübingen. They later lived together in Grünenbach in the Allgäu until old age.
