This was followed in 1994 died East German writer Erwin Strittmatter recalled (“The Shop”) in his diaries, his second and last volume now in Berliner Aufbau Verlag published. Strittmatter, student and assistant Brecht (1898-1956) early 50s at the Berliner Ensemble, sometimes speaks in his later diaries of himself in the third person as “old man” and was listed in 1985 remembering: “Once the Old Man Brecht asked: “? Why have you never joined the party” “There was such a thing with the discipline,” he replied. “
Brecht; “Now I do not want to; the effect is gone, “
In that June 17, 1953,” by which the politicians were grown up lies and lies “as Strittmatter (1912-1994) wrote and it left open whether East or West German politicians are meant or all of them, “did Brecht into which party,” recalled the author of DDR success novels such as “Ole Ole” and “The Miracle Worker”, and then added, “The old man was sent to inform the party-Upper Brecht’s inclusion in the party should happen quickly. As promised therefrom effect on the “enemy” in the West, but were reluctant party bureaucrats, and were three days around, Brecht said, “Well I do not want; the effect is gone “”
Brecht’s assistant Käthe Rülicke handed the same scenario
The head of the Brecht Archive in Berlin, Erdmut Wizisla said to the news agency dpa: “. fact that Brecht spontaneously wanted to join the party on June 17, Brecht’s assistant Käthe Rülicke has survived. Strittmatter report that Brecht dropped the idea again after three days, because the effect was gone, however, is new to us – as well as the explicit reference to difficulties with the party discipline. But it fits with what we know of his relationship to the party. Brecht was in solidarity, but he did not miss in the service. His political thinking was calculated independently and absolutely, what spontaneity absolutely included. If in doubt, he acted more as an artist. “
Brecht expressed solidarity with the SED in letter to Ulbricht
