The Büchner prize is considered the most important literary award in Germany. He was on Saturday at the age of 65. Times awarded. Among other things, he went on variables such as Erich Kästner (1957), Günter Grass (1965), Heinrich Böll (1967) and Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1986).

last year was awarded the 50,000-Euro award, the writer Reinald Goetz, who combines in his works of pop culture idioms and explosive media phenomena with literary elegance. Many observers interpreted this as a sign that the old price in the direction of the current development opens.

An interpretation that is confirmed with the award for Marcel Beyer. The 50-year-old poet and novelist has a pop-cultural Background: From 1992 to 1998, he published articles in the music magazine “Spex”, where he mused, especially about Dub music.

A past to which the Jury referred in its statement: “He has the Sound of the road in the ear, he knows the test site of the aesthetic avant-gardes, he is familiar with the treacherous magic of the media. His texts are bold and delicate, insightful and incorruptible.”

How far is Beyers literature term that also came up in his thinking speech: “language is everything,” he said at the award ceremony in the state theater of Darmstadt.

Beyer has been Known in 1995 with his novel “flying dogs”. In it, he tells the story of the Second world war, of the instrumentalization of language by Propaganda, and by experiments with human voices. The volumes of Poetry “the wrong food” (1997) and “geography” (2002), as well as the novels “spies” (2000) and “cold castle” (2008) followed. Most recently, he submitted his tape “graphite”, in twelve years, accumulated a collection of poems, in which he continues his Exploration of language, landscapes, and cultures.

doped in addition to the Büchner prize, was awarded in Darmstadt for two other awards, in each case with a 20,000 Euro.
