someone like him, it will no longer exist. One who balanced so incredibly elegant on the line between literature and science. The large seals of the Middle Ages snatched the sad twilight in which they – as part of the program, which completed most literature students more out of duty than from inclination – vegetated in medieval studies departments at German universities
” Is surcharge heart zwivel, / daz mouz the sele be sur “- no, life was most not mad because of some heart doubt, but because they Wolfram’s” Parzival “linguistically as ever far removed appeared.
As Dieter Kühn 1986 his retranslation submitted, a New High German, “modern”, “Parsifal”, which received the four beats per verse, but from freed the corset forced rhyme, the results made a sensation. (“The rhymes have disabled myself, the verse novel as accurate as flexible as possible to translate.
Free, sensual, ironic and comical
The available rhyming translations that rhyme coercive acts deforming on almost every line.”) Bold, almost spring and bright came to meet us the hero, even non-German studies now ventured on a journey through time Prepared the early 13th century.
they were. Nearly a decade earlier Kühn had presented his book “I Wolkenstein”. The biography of just rediscovered knight Oswald von Wolkenstein, whose love poetry had the claims of those who had ruled over the canon of classical minnesong, is not enough, because it was free, sensual, ironic and comical. Already in this book Kühn had delivered a stunning elevation of the medieval world.
Peter Wapnewski, the other great medieval mediator, wrote: “The German scholars and historians are to be envied, the future thanks to his Selva a great textbook from the late Middle Ages will have. ” In truth Kühn has given the impetus for the publications of Joachim Bumke, Barbara Tuchman or Arno Borst.
Dieter Kühn was born in 1935 in Cologne. Before the bombing, the family fled to Herrsching, 1949 returned the Kühns, not the ruins of Cologne, but into something located more western Düren. Dieter Kühn, who studied English and German in Freiburg, Munich and Bonn, doctorate 1964 on Robert Musil’s novel “The Man Without Qualities” and then decided on a life as a freelance writer. “N”, the Napoleon-book, which appeared in 1970, made the prelude to what should preoccupy Kühn henceforth: the biographical narration
Before Dieter. Kühn nobody was safe. He wrote about Goethe and Beethoven, over Bettina von Arnim and Sibylla Merian, Ludwig II. And “Sissi”, Hitler and Marlowe. But in the history of literature he has been received thanks to its medieval Fallot.
Panorama of Tristan World
The he founded in 1977 with the Wolkenstein-book and with the “Parsifal” continued he in 1988 his work on “Neidhart from the Reuental” added and from which he graduated with the new translation of Gottfried’s “Tristan und Isolde” in 1991.
The method was successfully tested: Before the actual text Kühn recorded an exciting panorama of Tristan World. The science was amazed that readers were charmed.
He was one of the most prolific and versatile German writers. In February his last book: “The seventh wave”. Now Dieter Kühn is aged 80 years died in Brühl.
