Walter Schübler (2004)

Walter Schübler (born August 6, 1963 in Lindach / Upper Austria ) is an Austrian biographer and literary scholar who lives and works in Vienna .

life and work

After studying translation (French, English, Portuguese), which he completed with a dissertation on François Rabelais , Schübler worked as an editor , translator and literary critic for newspapers, magazines and the ORF radio. For several years he was a freelance editor of “Spectrum”, the weekend feature section supplement of the Vienna daily newspaper “ Die Presse ”.

Schübler has specialized in writing biographies : Schübler's “Short-cuts” biography about Johann Nestroy was published on Johann Nestroy 's 200th birthday. This was followed by the so-called “pasticcio” biography about the alleged model of the Mephisto figure, the Goethe friend Johann Heinrich Merck . In 2012 Schübler's “Zoom-Biography” about Gottfried August Bürger was published. After completing a multi-year research project on the Viennese writer Anton Kuh , which was intended as a "bio-bibliographical foundation" and preparatory work for a monographic individual study as well as the basis for an annotated Anton Kuh work edition, which was published in seven volumes at the end of 2016, Schübler presented a corresponding biography. In 2020 he published a source-related processing of the scandal trial against Marcell Veith. In 1909, with keen public interest, he was convicted of forcing his underage adoptive daughter Mizzi into prostitution. He is currently doing research on the journalist Karl Tschuppik .

As a publicist, Schübler occasionally addressed selected academic and funding policy deficits, for example Werner Welzig's controversial “ Torch Dictionary Project” of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the equally controversial work of the director of the Austrian National Library , Johanna Rachinger . In August 2014 Walter Schübler received the “ Prize of the City of Vienna for Journalism ”.
