Rolf Schneider (born April 17, 1932 in Chemnitz ) is a German writer .

Life

Rolf Schneider is the son of a foreman and a textile worker. He grew up in Wernigerode in the Harz Mountains , where he attended high school and worked in a state- owned company . From 1952 to 1955 he studied German and pedagogy at the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg . He finished his studies with a degree in German studies. Then he was editor of the cultural-political magazine Aufbau in Berlin. He has been a freelance writer since 1958 .

Schneider was both more numerous than the author radio plays and plays a pro-regime author , on the other hand he took early in meetings of the Group 47 in part and had the opportunity to western countries ( Federal Republic of Germany , Austria , France and travel). From 1976 his attitude towards the conditions in the GDR became increasingly critical. In November 1976 he was one of the first signatories of the protest resolution by GDR authors against the expatriation of Wolf Biermann , whereupon his publication opportunities in the GDR were severely restricted by the state. In 1979 he was expelled from the GDR Writers' Association . Schneider, who according to his own statement still believed in the reformability of the GDR, worked in the following years mainly as a playwright and dramaturge at the city ​​theaters in Mainz and Nuremberg . Public appearances in the GDR were only possible in the context of church events of the GDR protest movement.

After the turning point and the peaceful revolution , Rolf Schneider was re-accepted into the GDR writers' association; Shortly thereafter, however, he resigned from the association for good in protest against the continued presidency of Hermann Kant . Rolf Schneider is a member of the PEN Center Germany .

Schneider lives in Schöneiche near Berlin .
