Saarbrücken School (literature)

The Saarbrücken School was Arnfrid Astel's writing workshop at the Saarland University .

For sixteen years, from the 1979/80 winter semester to the 1995/96 winter semester, the writer and literary editor Arnfrid Astel offered a literature course at Saarbrücken University with the title: “Writing and talking yourself - unicorn hunt and crickets - preparing and presenting short literary texts on objects and vulnerable states in the head and outside ". This resulted in what the participants, with hesitant consent, called Astel, the “Saarbrücken School”. The student participants included authors as diverse as Klaus Behringer, Martin Bettinger , Christopher Ecker , Sabine Göttel , Nico Graf, Erhard Schmied , Marietta Schröder, Benedikt Maria Trappen and Wolfgang Stauch .

In 1992 the book Einhornjagd & Grillenfang was published by PoCul-Verlag in Saarbrücken as a kind of interim balance sheet. 13 years Saarbrücker Schule , edited by Klaus Behringer, Angela Fitz and Ralf Peter. In addition to a foreword by Prof. Gerhard Schmidt-Henkel and an interview with Astel, it contains numerous text contributions from the seminar participants.
