About

* 13.12.1937, Reval (Tallinn), استونيا
† 30.06.2006, Frankfurt am Main, ألمانيا

Robert Gernhardt, a German writer, painter and caricaturist, was born in Reval (Tallinn), Estonia and died in Frankfurt am Main.

Gernhardt studied Painting and German literature in Stuttgart and Berlin. He was one of the regular contributors to the satirical magazine “Pardon”, where he did the section 'Welt im Spiegel' together with F.K. Waechter and F.W. Bernstein.

Gernhardt co-founded the satirical magazine “Titanic” in 1979. He was part of the so-called “New Frankfurt School”. Gernhardt’s satirical style combines social critique with a self-consciously irreverential attitude to cultural and literary traditions.

Gernhardt’s poems, which frequently produce their comic effects through play with language and sound as well as through playfully quoting literary tradition, have become part of public consciousness in Germany.

During the '70s and '80s, he wrote material for Otto Waalkes, one of Germany's most popular comedians. A lot of Waalkes' most famous routines have been written by Gernhardt.

In 2004 Gernhardt was awarded the Heinrich-Heine-Preis. He died on 30 June 2006 in Frankfurt after a long illness.
