Siegfried Pitschmann
Siegfried Pitschmann (born January 12, 1930 in Grünberg in Silesia ; † August 29, 2002 in Suhl ) was a German writer .
Life
Siegfried Pitschmann was a trained watchmaker until he began to write in 1949. From 1957 to 1959 he was a machinist in the construction of the Schwarze Pumpe combine , and since 1959 freelance writer. In 1958 he met Brigitte Reimann in the writers' home "Friedrich Wolf" in Petzow am Schwielowsee . From February 1959 to October 1964 he was her second husband. Siegfried Pitschmann lived and worked in Rostock from 1965 to 1989 , and later in Suhl.
“He will write some good books, real literature,” wrote Brigitte Reimann about him. Elvis Celebrates Birthday was published in 2000 by the Aufbau Taschenbuch Verlag . This book was Pitschmann's first publication after a long break.
Brigitte Reimann's dictum is confirmed in Pitschmann's largely autobiographical novel Education for a Hero from 1959: A pianist who feels as if he has failed works as a concrete worker in the Schwarze Pumpe combine and is worn out in twelve-hour shifts. Pitschmann refrained from portraying the workers of the combine as class-conscious figures of light in his novel. In a speech at the first Bitterfeld conference in April 1959, Erwin Strittmatter dismissed the young colleagues without naming Pitschmann: "The people who work here are described as constantly drunk, greedy and without moral support." The novel does not appear in the GDR. Pitschmann attempted suicide; the manuscript remained unfinished. In 2014 it was discovered in the Brigitte Reimann Literature House in Neubrandenburg; Aisthesis Verlag published it in 2015 .
In 1974 the plant was on his five attempts over Uwe based film Life with Uwe published.
