Literary work

Poetry

In Stroheker's poetry there are a few key words that are frequently encountered in her, next to "skin" and "stone" it is particularly often "death", but this heavy word is also often absorbed by opposing terms such as "cheerful" and "light" . The author herself provides information about this when she writes: “The poem should be 'as light as possible', but the 'weight of the world' remains conscious” . Stroheker's lyric is poetological , it treats language carefully, far from extreme experiments. Some topics touch their homeland, are local poems; many others are based on the experiences of their numerous stays abroad. The lyricist Gerd Kolter says that her writing was “shaped from the beginning by the tension between being local and cosmopolitan, with both poles mirroring and reflecting on each other” .

Josef Mühlberger

Tina Stroheker made the already forgotten Bohemian writer Josef Mühlberger (1903–1985) well known again with some of her works . Mühlberger, whose books were banned in 1936, last worked as a translator of Czech literature and was one of those writers whose main concern was the idea of ​​mediation and friendship between Germans and Czechs. Stroheker's book “Measurement of a Distance”, published in 2003, is an experience report on encounters with the writer, which she wrote about in 1999 in “My Chapter Mühlberger. Memories of an Author ”. There is, she notes, a unifying world of the spirit across the boundaries of languages, cultures and generations. In 2003 she received the “Josef Mühlberger Prize” for her services to the writer.

Poland

With her books, Tina Stroheker has also tried to reach an understanding with Poland. Most recently, there were miniatures in the “ Lodz Dictionary”, in which the memory of the city's dark past shines through in some places, for example when she writes about the “trace that remains in people” . In “French Fries in Gleiwitz. A poetic topography of Poland ”, on the other hand, depicts the neighboring country in a sometimes amusing way. In the“ Polish Journal ”, which was published in 1998 and has also been translated into Polish, she makes her own picture during a trip through the country, free of old and new clichés. In the foreword, the Polish author Andrzej Szczypiorski says: “We need such texts” .

LGBTIQ

Tina Stroheker is involved in the LGBTIQ community with lectures and workshops. In 2013 she published airmail for a stilt walker. Notate vom Lieben , an examination of their coming out and the tradition of lesbian literature as a point of reference.
