Sieglinde Scholz-Amoulong

Sieglinde Scholz-Amoulong (* 1945 in Friedland , Waldenburg (Schles) district ) is a German feature writer and director .

Life

After training as an actress, Sieglinde Scholz-Amoulong worked as a writer and director for radio in the GDR from 1980 . The trade journal Cut writes that its radio features seem “more lively and authentic” than others, since Scholz-Amoulong designed her programs based on the original sound as early as the GDR . “But until 1989, she says in retrospect, the scissors worked in her head as well. Construction workers were allowed to swear and did not have to limit themselves to pre-formulated statements in the interviews and conversations, but they deliberately kept silent about environmental damage , such as the one she noticed during the recordings of the A 20 industrial report going online . "

Sieglinde Scholz-Amoulong used the fact that the ideological guidelines were no longer applicable to document the upheaval in the last months of the GDR. The first interviews for her feature The fat Lipinski , which portrays a master at the Jänschwalde lignite power station, were from the spring of 1989 and the worker and the author get caught up in the vortex of change. “Unexpectedly,” writes Sabine Rauh in the Süddeutsche Zeitung , “this program, planned for the 40th anniversary of the GDR, became a chronicle of decline”.

Sieglinde Scholz-Amoulong has been working as a feature writer for ARD since 1990 .
