!!!Lebert, Hans

Lebert, Hans, b. Vienna, Jan. 9, 1919, d. Baden (Lower 
Austria), Aug. 20, 1993, narrative writer, lyric poet and opera singer 
(esp. R. Wagner operas); in World War II accused of "demoralizing the 
troops", cooperated with the Austrian resistance. Published first 
poems in the magazine "Plan" (1946). At the beginning of the 1990s his 
novels "Die Wolfshaut" (1960) and "Der Feuerkreis" (1971) were 
rediscovered. They deal with the consequences of National Socialism in 
rural parts of Austria, the hushing up and falsification of repression 
of Austria´s role in the Nazi era as well as the refusal to come 
to terms with this episode in Austria´s history. Austrian State 
Prize (1962), Grillparzer Prize (1992).
