Gottfried Benn

Gottfried Benn (May 2, 1886 in Mansfeld near Putlitz, Prignitz; July 7, 1956 in Berlin) was a German poet, essayist, and physician. He grew up as the son of a theologian in a rectory. After abandoning his theology studies, he successfully completed his medical studies. In 1912, his first volume of poetry, Morgue and Other Poems, was published. It caused a scandal due to its drastic choice of themes and casual expression and immediately made the author known as a representative of the newly emerging Expressionist poetry.

With the novella volume Brains, published in 1916, he made a significant contribution to Expressionist short prose. From then on, he pursued the civilizational critique of the Morgue poems in his essayistic work. In The Modern Self, he devoted himself to the question of the position of the individual in society.

Gottfried Benn is considered one of the most important German poets of modern literature. He first entered the literary scene as an Expressionist with his Morgue poems, which radically broke with conventional poetic traditions and strongly reflected impressions from his work as a doctor. Dissections and cancer and maternity wards are described with seemingly dispassionate nuance, and romantic titles like “Little Aster” arouse expectations that are then blatantly disappointed.

The rights to the work are now held by Klett-Cotta Verlag.

From the beginning, Benn wrote essayistic, poetically avant-garde, and autobiographical prose works. After 1945, he surprised the public with the novel Phenotype, on which he had been working since at least 1944.

Christian Wilhelm Schenk

Christian Wilhelm Schenk (born November 11, 1951 in Brașov, People’s Republic of Romania) is a German physician, poet, essayist, translator, and publisher from the Transylvanian Saxon community.

Christian W. Schenk grew up in a small mining settlement near Brașov and was raised trilingually (German, Hungarian, and Romanian). His father is German, his mother Hungarian.

At the end of the 1950s, he made his first attempts at poetry, which led to his first publication in 1961: a poem in the children’s magazine Luminita (Bucharest) under the guidance of the Romanian poet Tudor Arghezi, who was his mentor from 1959 to 1965. His second mentor from 1964 to 1969 was the Transylvanian poet Vasile Copilu-Cheatră.

He attended elementary school in his hometown from 1958 to 1962 and in Wolkendorf from 1962 to 1966. Schenk attended high school in Zeiden, with interruptions, from 1971 to 1973. In between, he supported himself with odd jobs as a projectionist, weaver, or wage laborer. In 1974, he obtained his Abitur (university entrance qualification).

In 1976, Schenk left Romania and emigrated to Germany. Here, he had to retake the Abitur (university entrance qualification) in Wiehl in the Oberbergisches Land region in order to obtain university entrance qualifications in Germany. From 1977 to 1980, he first completed an apprenticeship as a dental technician in Koblenz and then studied medicine/dentistry at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz from 1980 to 1986. In 1985, he received his doctorate in medicine from the same university with a thesis on “The Situation of Severely Disabled People in Working Life.” From 1986 to 1988, Schenk completed the mandatory years of training for health insurance accreditation in Lünen. Starting in 1988, he opened his own practice in Kastellaun. Today, Schenk lives in Boppard.

In 1986, as editor-in-chief of the quadrilingual magazine “Romanian Convergences,” of which he was editor-in-chief from 1984 to 1986, Schenk protested against the demolition of entire cities and cultural sites under dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, which he described as “urbanization plans.” As a result, he was declared “persona non grata” in Romania, with a lifetime ban from entering the country. He continued to write and translate, but his work was recognized only in the West and among the diaspora. After 1989, he was rehabilitated. He received various awards from the government of the time, including the Presidential Certificate.

Through his memberships in the Association of German Writers, the Romanian Writers’ Association, the Union Mondiale des Écrivains Médecins, the American Romanian Academy of Arts and Sciences (ARA), the Romanian Writers’ Association of Physicians, the Academy of Sciences, Literature, and Culture in Bihor, the Hesperus Society, the Balkan Romance Studies Association, and the South-East European Society, Schenk has been striving for decades to deepen East-West cultural relations. The Dionysos Literature and Theater Publishing House (Kastellaun), which he founded, is also dedicated to this task.

For his outstanding contributions to East-West cultural relations and his own work, Schenk was nominated as an honorary citizen of the university city of Cluj-Napoca in 2000, and in 2006 as a “Knight of the Danubian Order” in Galați on the Danube.

Klaus Thomas studied Protestant theology, philosophy, modern languages, psychology, psychotherapy, and medicine. During his studies, he was a member of the Arndt Berlin fraternity (in the Sonderhäuser Verband).[1] In 1940, he received his doctorate in philosophy from the Faculty of Philosophy at the Friedrich Wilhelm University of Berlin.[2] In 1947, he received his doctorate in medicine from the Faculty of Medicine at the Philipps University of Marburg under Ernst Kretschmer.[3] In 1964, he received his Doctor of Divinity (DD) in the USA, an honorary award for special theological services.

He worked as a student chaplain in Berlin and as a hospital chaplain in Marburg, later as a physician and psychotherapist in Berlin, as a senior teacher at the Schadow Gymnasium in Berlin, and as a lecturer at the Lessing University, at the Academy for Continuing Medical Education[4], and from 1956 until the construction of the Berlin Wall on August 13, 1961, at the Paulinum. Study and lecture tours have taken Klaus Thomas to over 100 countries.

Manfred Lütz

Manfred Lütz (born March 18, 1954 in Bonn) is a German psychiatrist, psychotherapist, Roman Catholic theologian, Vatican advisor, and author. He headed the Alexianer Hospital in Cologne from 1997 to 2019.[1]

Lütz studied medicine, philosophy, and Catholic theology in Bonn and Rome. He obtained his medical license in 1979 and his diploma in Catholic theology in 1982. During his studies, he became a member of the KDStV Bavaria Bonn in the CV.

Social Commitment

Manfred Lütz founded the inclusive youth group “Brücke-Krücke” in Bonn in 1981, in which disabled and non-disabled young people and young adults from Bonn and the surrounding area work together without professional supervision.[3][5] Since then, Lütz has volunteered for the initiative,[6] which is affiliated with the Catholic Youth Agency in Bonn. He organizes annual trips and participates in events. The group includes approximately 200 disabled and non-disabled people.

Church and Vatican Advisor

Pope John Paul II appointed Lütz a consultant to the Congregation for the Clergy in 2003.[7] In the same year, he organized a congress in the Vatican on the topic of “Abuse of Children and Young People by Catholic Priests and Religious.”[3] From 2006, he was part of the Pastoral Office’s working group in the Archdiocese of Cologne, responsible for processing and investigating cases of sexual abuse of minors by clergy and lay people in pastoral ministry.[8] Lütz himself served under three popes until 2016 as a member of the Pontifical Council for the Laity.[9] He contributed as an advisor to the creation of the Youth Catechism, Youcat.[10] He was a corresponding member of the Pontifical Academy for Life from the beginning of the 2000s, and a full member from 2004, to whose board he was appointed in March 2005 for a term until 2010.[12] After the restructuring of the Academy as part of the Curia reform, he was reappointed as a full member by Pope Francis in 2017 and is considered a supporter of the opening and renewal of the body implemented by the Pope.[13]

Pope Francis appointed him a member of the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life on October 6, 2018.

Author and Media Presence

After his essay “The Blocked Giant: Psycho-Analysis of the Catholic Church” (1999), which received primarily internal attention, Manfred Lütz has been active as an author for a wider audience since 2002 and has gained greater recognition through several bestsellers.[2][3][9][16] In his books, he addresses general topics of lifestyle and modern culture, religion, and the conditions in the Catholic Church and psychiatry from the perspective of a psychotherapist, sometimes with humor and satirical slant. Manfred Lütz has also been active and in demand for many years as a lecturer, speaker, and interviewee. Lütz has also occasionally performed as a cabaret artist since 2006.[17] He has frequently participated in television programs as a discussion partner on psychiatric and psychotherapeutic topics and took part in prominent talk shows as a church expert in the run-up to the conclaves of 2005 and 2013.[18][19][20] In March 2013, he accompanied the live broadcasts of the papal election at the 2013 conclave and the subsequent events of the inauguration of the new pope in Rome as a commentator for ZDF and Phoenix.

Manfred Lütz’s best-known book is entitled “Crazy! We Treat the Wrong People. Our Problem Are the Normal People” (2009), the paperback edition of which spent 106 weeks on the Spiegel bestseller list.[22] In 2013, it resulted in a television show with the Cologne cabaret artist Jürgen Becker.[23] His book “Bluff: The Falsification of the World” (2012) was also at the top of the Spiegel bestseller list.[16] Other frequently cited books are “Lust for Life: Against Diet Sadists, Health Craze, and the Fitness Cult” (2002), “God: A Short History of the Greatest” (2007), and “How You Will Inevitably Become Happy: A Psychology of Success” (2015). In 2016, he published a volume of conversations with the Auschwitz survivor Jehuda Bacon. His 2018 book The Scandal of Scandals was one of Herder Verlag’s two best-selling titles in 2018.

In various articles, for example in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), Lütz emphasized in 2010 that abuse by Catholic priests was worse than any other abuse, but at the same time rejected the idea of ​​scapegoating the church and ignoring the social context of the 1970s. He sees the left-wing scene as the cause of the abuse. On the contrary, he argues that the “structures of the church are even helpful” when it comes to solving cases of abuse.[25] Society as a whole bears responsibility here.[26] In 2018, he commented on the so-called “MHG study”[27][28] published by the German Bishops’ Conference, calling it “spectacularly unsuccessful.”
