Eberhard Hilscher: A literary heritage full of cheerfulness and depth
Wismar, Deutschland - The literary Eberhard Hilscher, born on April 28, 1927 in Schwiebus (now świebodzin, Poland), leaves a lasting impression in German literature with his stories. Until his death on December 7, 2005 in Berlin, Hilscher was a diverse writer and literary scholar who spent his main skills in the GDR. With a trained look for the nuances of life, he created a multi -layered collection of essays, novels and biographies, in which he illuminated significant figures such as Gerhart Hauptmann and Thomas Mann. Now, in 2025, his latest anthology "Rendezvous of the Dreamer, Fools and Loves" is published, which includes 15 short stories. This collection promises to dive into the readers: to dive into the cheerful and thoughtful world of Hilscher's literary work.
The story "Poet in the sights" is considered the most profound of the band and offers a fascinating discussion between two poets about censorship and ideals.

In this way, it becomes clear in the context of these stories that Hilscher not only tells stories, but also spans the sheet for current questions. Furthermore, the arrangement that gives the female character in the Cuba narrative the first and last word increases the fun of reading and arouses the interest of the audience. A remarkable aspect of Hilscher's work is the fact that his works were published not only in German, but also in many other languages such as Russian, Hungarian, Japanese and Polish. His commitment to the literature is not only recognized by the awarding of Schiller presentation in Weimar and a scholarship of the Prussian Seehandung Foundation, but also by his honorary citizenship of świebodzin. In 2000 he was buried there in an honorary grave. Hilscher's work extends over various literary forms; From his first novella "Feuerland Ahoi!" 1961 up to his last unfinished work. In 2023, a selection of poetry was published from his estate in the Poeterei album series and in 2017 an uncensored "edition of the last hand" of his "world time clock." His constant search for the literary expression and reflection on one's own story make him one of the most important authors of his time. It will now be particularly attractive to see how the public reacts to the new unpublished stories that offer him another stage for his thoughts and feelings. diverse topics and profound discussions
