  • Eberhard Panitz (16 April 1932 – 1 October 2021) was a German writer, screenwriter, literary editor and publicist. He wrote epic works, documentaries, audio plays and scripts for films and television. He was committed to socialist realism, and received several awards in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). After German reunification, he continued to write for leftist publishers.

    Life[edit]

    Panitz was born in Dresden,[1][2] the son of a tram conductor and a saleswoman.[1] He grew up in Dresden-Trachau. He attended the Pestalozzi-Oberschule [de], completing with the Abitur in 1950.[3] After working in a youth brigade building the Cranzahl Dam,[4] he studied pedagogy and German studies at the University of Leipzig until 1953. He worked as a literary editor for both the Verlag Neues Leben [de] and the Mitteldeutscher Verlag [de]inHalle.[5] He joined the Deutscher Schriftstellerverband in 1958, remaining a member until it was dissolved in 1990. He belonged to its executive board, and was vice president of its Berlin section.[4]

    Working as a freelance writer from 1959,[2] Panitz wrote epic works, documentaries, audio plays and scripts for films and television, committed to socialist realism. His topics included building a socialist society, espionage, the bombing of Dresden and the emancipation of women.[5] Novels such as Meines Vaters Straßenbahn (My father's tram) have autographic elements, set in Dresden.[6] He created strong determined women characters.[6] His novel Die unheilige Sophia (The unholy Sophia) is based on Sonja, a controversial mayor of Kolberg after World War II. The book was filmed, directed by Manfred Wekwerth, at original locations.[4] Panitz was editor for two volumes of notable German stories (Erzählungen).[5]

    Panitz travelled frequently in socialist countries such as Vietnam, Cuba and Mongolia,[1] resulting in books such as Gesichter Vietnams (Faces of Vietnam, 1978) and Cuba mi Amor (2004).[6] He also travelled in the U.S. for several months.[1] Panitz was a member of the Marxist forum of the Die Linke party.[4]

    After German reunification, his writings were released through small publishing houses dedicated to leftist topics.[5] His 1982 novel Eiszeit, a warning of atomic weapons, was reprinted in 2016.[6] He lived in Berlin-Grünau as a freelance writer. For decades, he also had a summer retreat which he preferred for working, first in Kolberg, and from 1974 a house in Prieros [de], Brandenburg, which had belonged to Christa Wolf before.[4]

    Panitz died in Berlin at age 89.[2][7]
