Writer
Heike Schmitz studied German language and literature, psychology and sociology at the J.W. Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. She worked there for several years as a research assistant. With a scholarship from the Heinrich Böll Foundation, she wrote a doctoral thesis on selected works by Bachmann and Lispector in connection with mystical ways of thinking. After completing her doctorate, she lived in Berlin as a freelance author and lecturer in German and was a temporary fellow of the Friedrich Nietzsche Centre in Weimar. For several years, she dealt with the (after-)effects of war and National Socialism on children and grandchildren. With her book “Unsereiner Kriegsundführerkinder” (Our Children of War and Leaders), she published a literary answer to the questions of transgenerational transmission. In collaboration with the sculptor and graphic artist Herbert Eugen Wiegand, she has published a “scroll book” titled “SJØ-LAND” with the publisher “round not square”. She lives in Berlin and on the Norwegian island of Harøy.
