Timeline
Wolfgang Hilbig (31 August 1941 – 2 June 2007) was a German writer and poet.
Wolfgang Hilbig was born in Meuselwitz, Germany.
His grandfather had emigrated from Biłgoraj (Congress Poland, Russian Empire) before the First World War.
In 1942, his father was reported missing at Stalingrad, leaving behind Hilbig and his mother.
After his schooling in his home town, Hilbig began to work at a boring mill.
Later, after military service, he worked as a tool maker and in assembly construction at the Meuselwitz lignite mine.
At the end of the 1970s, Hilbig gave up his day job and began to work exclusively as a writer.
With the support of Franz Fühmann, a few of his poems were printed in a GDR newspaper for the first time.
In 1978, Hilbig moved to East Berlin, and in 1979 he became an independent writer.
He received attention from the West however, as a result of his poems in the anthology Cries For Help From The Other Side (1978).
His first volume of poetry, Absence (1979) was published by S. Fischer Verlag in Frankfurt am Main.
For this, Hilbig was fined.
His prose anthology, Unterm Neomond (1982) was published by S. Fischer, followed by Stimme Stimme (1983), a prose and poetry anthology published by Reclam in Leipzig.
In 1985, he left the GDR with a travel visa and moved to West Germany.
In 1985 Hilbig gained a visa for West Germany valid until 1990.
During this time he published not only further poetry and prose, but also his first novel, Eine Übertragung (1989), which was received well by literary critics.
Even after reunification, the main themes of his work remained the dual-existence of working and writing in the GDR and the search for individuality.
His further works include: his second novel, Ich (1993); his collections of short stories, such as Die Arbeit an den Öfen (1994) and Die Kunde von den Bäumen (1996); and his third novel Das Provisorium (2000).
Autobiographical themes are often prevalent.
He lived in Berlin after the fall of the Berlin Wall and married writer and translator Natascha Wodin in 1994.
They had one daughter and divorced in 2002.
Hilbig died from cancer in 2007 and is buried in the Dorotheenstädtischen Cemetery in Berlin.
At first Hilbig favoured poetry, but his works remained widely unpublished in the GDR.
