Text
Paul Schuster was born in 1930 in Hermannstadt (rum. Sibiu, ung. Nagyszeben) in Transylvania and came from a Transylvanian-Saxon family. He is one of the most important German-language writers from Romania after 1945. His best-known novel, „Fünf Liter Zuika“ was presented in the West in 1968 as the first work by a Romanian-German writer. In 1972 Schuster moved to the Federal Republic of Germany and worked in Berlin as a translator, editor, writer and lecturer in creative writing until 2004. The main holdings of Paul Schuster's estate were acquired by the IKGS in September 2004, and include 41 archival boxes (approximately 4 archival meters) with a total of over 380 documents deposited in the author's original sort order. In 2015 and 2016, two additional partial collections were acquired, containing 5 and 7 boxes, respectively. In December 2016, a fourth partial collection was photographed in Bucharest and digitally added to the estate. Since December 2015, the estate of Paul Schuster has been catalogued and organized according to scientific and archival criteria as part of a twenty-month project. It has been generally accessible for research purposes since October 2017. The recording of the document holdings were integrated into the Kalliope database, which serves as a central search entry point for estates and autographs.
