Tube (writer)

Tube (2010)

Tube (actually Tobias Herre ; born August 12, 1968 in East Berlin ) is a German writer . Sometimes he also appears under the name Tube Tobias Herre .

Life

Tube grew up in Berlin-Kaulsdorf . According to his own information, he received the name Tube during his school days. A teacher at his school always pronounced his first name Tobias as "Tubias" through her Saxon dialect . His classmates found this so amusing that they called him “Tube” from then on.

After attending a polytechnic high school , Tube completed an apprenticeship as a data processing specialist. When the wall came down and the GDR then joined the Federal Republic of Germany, he became unemployed, worked and went to secondary school. Together with his friends Volker Strübing and Uwe Beneke, who were also young IT professionals at the time, he programmed the computer game Atomino for the Blue Byte company in 1991 . To this day he works full-time as an IT specialist.

With Strübing and Beneke as well as Andreas Krenzke , Sabine Mylius, Klaus Schwarz, André Lange and Gunar Klemm, Tube founded the reading stage Supernova on July 4, 1996 . Shortly thereafter, this was renamed Ein Keller Buntes and finally in 1999 LSD - love instead of drugs . This title still exists today. In addition, he joined the Surfpoeten in 1997 and in the local group in 2000 . Since then he has published numerous texts in various reading stage anthologies and in the satirical magazine Salbader . In 2011 he published his first collection of short stories, Wenn ich Macht, published by Voland & Quist . In 2012 he published his first novel Das Fehlerchen there .

Tube lives in the Berlin district of Pankow .

Vuvuzela filter

In 2010 Tube accidentally received a lot of media attention. In the run-up to the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa, there was a long public debate as to whether the Vuvuzela fan instrument should be allowed in the stadiums, as the noise could disturb the players and the TV broadcasts. Thereupon Tube stated in a posting on the Surfpoeten homepage that one could filter out the noise during TV transmissions with simple technical means. In response, he received interview requests from the national and international press and was referred to as the “inventor of the Vuvuzela filter”. After a short time he decided not to give any more information and again stated on the homepage of the surf poet in the form of a humorous fictional dialogue from his text series Tube asks Tobias that he had by no means invented anything, but only referred to techniques that were already known the broadcasting companies with their sound engineers and their equipment could do better than laypeople like him.
