Life

Susanne Leinemann is the daughter of the journalist Jürgen Leinemann . She grew up in Washington, DC and Bonn . Leinemann studied history in Bochum , Mexico City and Jena   and received a military history award for her thesis on the integration of the NVA into the Bundeswehr . She then attended the German School of Journalism in Munich . She then worked as an editor and freelance journalist, including in the features section of the daily newspaper Die Welt , for the magazine Max , as a columnist for the Berliner Morgenpost and for the weekly newspaper Die Zeit .

Woke up in her non-fiction book . Mauer weg (2002) describes her generation as a consumer-oriented, apolitical middle-class member ( generation Golf ), highly qualified and at the same time precariously employed . The fall of the Berlin Wall at the end of 1989 would have been the only politicizing event for their peers, hence their self- attribution as 89 in (as opposed to 1968 ). But the turning point - so far - has not resulted in any lasting political orientation.

Susanne Leinemann lives in Berlin with her husband and two children .

Attack in Berlin

On April 29, 2010, Leinemann in Berlin-Wilmersdorf was attacked by several young perpetrators and seriously injured. She described her view of the experiences and consequences for victims and perpetrators in a report in Zeit-Magazin . For this report, Leinemann was awarded the special prize of the Henri Nannen Prize in 2011 .
