Bernhard Kellermann

Kellermann, Bernhard

Born Mar. 4, 1879, in Fürth; died Oct. 17, 1951, in Potsdam. German writer.

The son of a civil servant, Kellermann was educated at the Higher Technical School in Munich. His early novels, such as Yesterand Li (1904), were influenced by neoromanticism. Turning to contemporary social themes in the novel The Tunnel (1913), he reveals the contradictions in bourgeois technical progress. He welcomed the Great October Socialist Revolution and the November Revolution of 1918 in Germany in the novel November 9 (1920). The novel The City Anatol (1932) portrays a capitalist city gripped by entrepreneurial fever. In the fascist period Kellermann remained in Germany, writing novels in the spirit of critical realism.

After 1945 he took an active part in the democratic renewal of German culture, becoming one of the founders and leaders of the Kulturbund. In the novel Dance of Death (1948) he exposed the criminal, amoral essence of fascism. After a trip to the USSR in 1948 as a member of the first delegation of the German democratic intelligentsia, Kellermann, with his wife Ellen, wrote a book of sketches entitled We Are Returning From Soviet Russia, in which the Soviet people are described with great affection. He was awarded the National Prize of the German Democratic Republic in 1949.
