Abstract
Abstract The poet and prose author, reviewer, and not least editor Wulf Kirsten (born June 21, 1934 in Klipphausen – near Meißen, also close to Dresden –, died December 14, 2022 in Bad Berka, south of Weimar) was a connoisseur of Romanian-German Poetry and its Bukovinian, Bucharest, Banat, and Transylvanian renditions. Throughout his life, he came in close contact with poets, prose authors, and literary scholars within this field. Family connections owing to his wife’s origins (whose parents came from the Hermannstadt/Sibiu area), constant travels to Romania and consistent contact with this literary phenomenon established and consolidated his knowledge and understanding of the country’s German-language literature. This is evident from statements made by the writer and cultural mediator, who was mostly based in Weimar, as well as from correspondence conducted with authors from southeastern Europe.
