Timeline

1933

Irmtraud Morgner (22 August 1933 – 6 May 1990) was a German writer, best known for works of magical realism concerned predominantly with the role of gender in East German society.

Irmtraud Morgner was born in 1933 in Chemnitz, the daughter of a railroad engineer.

1952

She took her Abitur in 1952, before studying Germanistik (German studies) and Literary studies at Leipzig until 1956.

1958

She worked for the magazine neue deutsche literatur (New German Literature, a journal noted for a degree of confrontation with East German cultural policy) until 1958, after which she lived as a freelance author.

Morgner's first marriage was to Joachim Schreck, later an editor at the publishers Aufbau-Verlag.

1965

The 'intermezzos' were created from Rumba auf einen Herbst (Rumba for Autumn), a novel previously rejected by the censors in 1965.

Together with its sequel ''Amanda.

Ein Hexenroman (Amanda. A Witch's Tale), Leben und Abenteuer der Trobadora Beatriz…'' was to form a trilogy centred on 'Laura (Amanda) Salman',.

In her final years, cancer somewhat impaired her productivity, and she never completed the 'Salman trilogy'.

Fragments of the third novel were later published posthumously as Das heroische Testament (The Heroic Testament).

1967

She gave birth to a son in 1967.

1968

After producing a number of relatively conventional socialist realist works, she gained a greater degree of notability and success in 1968 with the novel Hochzeit in Konstantinopel (Wedding in Constantinople).

This work, a blend of realism and fantasy exploring feminist themes, was a fresh development in East German literature.

While her work as a whole is generally argued to be predominantly concerned with gender, Morgner also touches upon other issues in East German society.

She clearly satirises the stultifying effect of censorship on literature under the regime, censorship that she herself often fell foul of.

Whilst winning notable awards in East Germany, she was nevertheless subject to surveillance herself, and her works to heavy editing and often rejection.

Her magnum opus may be considered Leben und Abenteuer der Trobadora Beatriz nach Zeugnissen ihrer Spielfrau Laura (The Life and Adventures of Trobadora Beatrice as Chronicled by Her Minstrel Laura).

A 'novel in thirteen books and seven intermezzos', it may be considered an epistolary novel as it includes (other than straight narrative) love poetry, morse code, exchanges of correspondence and transcripts.

1970

Morgner and Schreck were divorced in 1970.

1972

She was married again in 1972, to Paul Wiens, a fellow poet and author.

Wiens, like many thousands in East German, was an 'unofficial employee' of the Stasi and informed on Morgner throughout their marriage.

1977

They divorced in 1977.

1980

She underwent several operations during the late 1980s, but died in May 1990.

1984

She contributed the piece "Witch Vilmma's invention of speech-swallowing" to the 1984 anthology Sisterhood Is Global: The International Women's Movement Anthology, edited by Robin Morgan.

1987

Morgner was diagnosed with cancer in 1987.
