Rudolf Braune (born February 16, 1907 in Dresden ; † June 12, 1932 near Düsseldorf ) was a German writer and journalist .

Life

Rudolf Braune was the son of a railway official. He attended a grammar school or a secondary school in Dresden and probably left school at the age of 14 to become a bookseller. In 1925 he published the strongly anti-bourgeois magazine MOB with fellow students , which was discontinued after four issues due to the intervention of the school authorities.

Braune went to Düsseldorf in 1927 as a staunch communist , where he worked as a bookseller and presumably completed an internship with the communist daily newspaper Freiheit . At the same time he published articles in the Weltbühne and in the Frankfurter Zeitung . In the freedom of most journalism Brown, including serialized his first published novel, The Battle on the Kille . Two other novels ( The Girl at the Orga Private and Young People in the City ) were published in 1930 and 1932. Braune did not live to see the appearance of young people in the city because he had drowned while swimming in the Rhine.

Brown's works have largely fallen into oblivion as workers' literature , but because of their unusual stylistic certainty and, despite all partiality, differentiated characterization and plot management, they are considered important examples of the narrative New Objectivity in German literature.
