Reinhard Gehret
Reinhard Gehret (born June 14, 1949 in Karlstadt ; † April 16, 1986 in Berlin ) was a German author.
He belonged to the Kreuzberg "underground literary" of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and was an unusual one among them.
Over a period of almost 20 years, his legacy includes complete, detailed diary entries of more than 30 DIN-A-5 notebooks of 400 pages, several hundred audio cassettes with “dikdalen” - these are texts dictated on the way (when Gehret was not using the bicycle (he always had a cassette recorder under his arm) and 17 bulging Leitz files with bizarre short texts mostly written at night in a trance-like state. Gehret referred to them in his one-man language as "Fölmen". Their origins cannot be explained by literary ambitions, they cannot be traced back to literary models, and any attempt to interpret a certain meaning, a certain symbolism into them would be misleading. There are linguistic flows of four to twelve handwritten pages on which many entries can be found in Gehret's diaries.
In 2019, the journalist Benedikt Mahler has the radio feature Der Untergrund-literat Reinhard Gehret for Bayerischer Rundfunk . Realized in search of a phantom and his estate , in which he actually found the estate and can also speak to Gehret's sister.
