Raymund Stolze (born June 13, 1945 in Gera ) is a German journalist and author specializing in chess , sports and culture .

Career

After graduating from high school in 1964, Raymund Stolze worked for a year as an assistant nurse in East Berlin's Wilhelm Griesinger Hospital ( psychiatry and neurology ). In 1965 he began studying medicine at the Humboldt University in Berlin in East Berlin. From 1966 to 1969 he served in the National People's Army. From 1969 he completed a degree in economics at the University of Economics with a diploma in 1973. From 1973 to 1979 he was an editor at the GDR news agency ADN ( General German Intelligence Service ). He then worked from 1979 to January 1988 in the culture section of the daily newspaper Junge Welt .

His subject area was film, and he has also conducted numerous exclusive interviews, for example with Loriot , Wallraff and Otto ; at Junge Welt he became a chess journalist with the candidate final in Vilnius between Vasily Smyslow and Garry Kasparov . In 1984/85 he commented on the games in the seemingly endless World Cup duel between Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov. In the Junge Welt , a project of readers versus chess computers (it was the SC2, which was developed at VEB Mikroelektronik Erfurt and presented at the Leipzig trade fair in 1981 ) was also supervised by him in the so-called Freizeit-Magazin , where the Kasparows chess school later appeared.

In 1990 he moderated the last two Schach aktuell broadcasts on GDR television for the World Cup match Kasparow-Karpow ; he invited a guest to each program who matched the content of the program. From February 1988 up to and including June 1999 he was at Sportverlag Berlin , first deputy head editor and then after reunification head editor; his field of activity then not only included the remarkable chess book segment, but was also responsible for the entire book program; Incidentally, the sports publishing house belonged to the Ullstein book group. The fact that the SCHACH magazine survived is largely due to him, because with the help of the Springer Group , on his initiative, it was able to take over the chess report at the end of 1996 with the approval of the Cartel Office .

When the employees of the sports publishing house were dismissed for operational reasons on December 31, 1998, he was hired by the Berliner Morgenpost after a short period of unemployment and was then a freelance permanent employee of the sports editorial office until his retirement on June 30, 2010 . From 2003 he was also head of the editing department for chess at EDITION OLMS . The most important projects he oversaw included the seven-volume Kasparov work "Meine große Vorkampf" and, after the death of Honorary Grandmaster Rudolf Teschner, the publication of three volumes of chess columns by Helmut Pfleger .

Chess journalistic activity

The former head editor of the renowned sports publisher Berlin has been responsible for the chess book program of Edition Olms since 2003 . Stolze was DSB's public relations officer from June 2011 to January 2012 . From August 2012 to July 2016, he volunteered for the chess website Schach-Ticker, for which he and Franz Jittenmeier received the German Chess Prize 2015 . He saved Kurt Richter's grave and secured it through a fundraising campaign until 2028.

chess

The graduate economist himself played chess successfully. In 1963 he was East Berlin youth champion.

For two seasons 2005/06 and 2006/07 he was the manager of the second Bundesliga team of SV Glück on Rüdersdorf and in the second season he signed Viktor Korchnoi , who won on February 4, 2007 against Zehlendorf on board 1. His sporting successes also include the fact that the U12 team of SV Glück auf Rüdersdorf , which he coached, became German champions at the German club team championship 2012 in Verden (Aller) .

A second project that was close to his heart was contact with the chess group at Straubing correctional facility . In recent years he has organized three mini correspondence chess matches, starting with Grandmaster Robert Rabiega . They were also together for the 60th anniversary of the chess group in Straubing, where Rabiega played simultaneous.

Stolze is currently playing at KSC Strausberg in the Regionalliga Ost and organizing training evenings.

Others

His commitment to culture in the community of Hoppegarten is interesting . He and his wife have been looking after the Rathaus Galerie Hoppegarten since December 2012 . There are regular exhibitions by artists, just read! with prominent authors, just see! with documentary film directors, as well as the encounters in Neuenhagen (the premiere was in 2016 with the Ambassador of the Republic of Armenia Aschot Smbatjan ).
