Live and act

Yury Winterberg grew up in Radebeul . He studied psychology at the Technical University of Dresden with a degree in psychology. He then worked as a research assistant at the TU Dresden. As early as the late 1970s, Franz Fühmann , who maintained a friendly correspondence with him until his death , encouraged him to write. In the 1980s, the first publications in the literary underground in the context of the Dresden "caliber talents" Micha Brendel , Else Gabriel , Rainer Görß and Via Lewandowsky, who have since come to fame as autoperforation artists .

From 1990 he was literary editor at the daily newspaper Die Union (now Dresdner Latest News ), the following year Winterberg switched to DAZ as editor and made literary programs as a freelance journalist for the MDR radio. A little later, the SPD recruited him in the Saxon state parliament as a consultant for culture and media.

From this secure position, Yury Winterberg went into business for himself in 1993 and founded the Leipzig production company LE Vision with others, including the later director Jan Peter . Under their sponsorship, a feature film and numerous, in some cases excellent documentaries and docudramas, for which Yury Winterberg wrote the screenplay, have been made to this day. Jan Peter often directed this. Most recently the docu-drama series 14 - Diaries of the First World War was created for arte , ARD and other third-party programs.

Winterberg's work focuses on contemporary history and, predominantly right-wing, terrorism .

From 2001 to 2010 Winterberg was chairman of the board of the Filmverband Sachsen e. V.
