Life

Reinhard Wosniak attended school in his hometown Frohburg, passed his Abitur in 1972 and then studied marine engineering in Rostock. He then obtained his doctorate in engineering with a thesis on experimental and theoretical flow analysis and worked in an engineering office until 1990. During this time he wrote his first prose and song texts and was a member of a band for several years.

Reinhard Wosniak initially worked part-time, then as a freelancer for several newspapers and journals, but also for radio, and wrote reviews of literature, concerts, and spoken and musical theater.

Since 1993 Wosniak has been an employee of a medical corporation and has been responsible for quality assurance there since 1995. In addition, he supervised and developed projects for outpatient, preventive and telemedicine and was for a time co-editor of the annual volume of the Teltower Kreis on problems in the German health system.

In addition to his professional activity, Wosniak appeared in the wake of his first novel Stilicho (1989) at larger intervals with literary works - without committing to a subject. He wrote short stories, short stories and novels, but also essays. With the extensive art psychological considerations Morbus - A Disease in Europe , he presented in 1998 an idiosyncratic work on cross-border commuters in European art history. After the cheerful and enigmatic turnaround novel She sat in the kitchen and smoked (1995) and a collection of artist novels (Pietà, 1996), Reinhard Wosniak published a second, extensive contemporary novel in 2013 after a long break with Felonie , the first part of a trilogy . The story of two German families is thematically and narrative expansive, has its focus in the 1950s and at the end announces a sequel that took place in 2018 with The Children of the Moon and in March 2020, a few weeks before Wosniak's death, with Die Nacht the ants came to an end. A (new) edition of the trilogy of novels under the title Die Villa is planned for posthumously.

Reinhard Wosniak was married and had a daughter. He lived and worked in Seehof on Lake Schwerin . In the last years of his life, Wosniak suffered from the neurological disease MSA ; he died in May 2020 at the age of 66.
