Anna Katharina Hahn is a German author. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Anna Katharina Hahn was born in Ruit (Ostfildern), a small town short distance to the south-east of Stuttgart. [5]
She attended secondary school in nearby Stuttgart. Hahn won her first literary prize while still at school, coming first in a short story competition organised by the city authorities in 1988. [1] On leaving school she enrolled at the Hamburg University where in 1995 she gained a "Magister degree" in German studies, English studies, and European Ethnology and Folklore. [2] From 1996 to 2001 she worked as a research assistant in the German Bible Archive and in the manuscripts department of the Hamburg State and University Library. [1]
Her first texts were academic in nature and dealt with the history of bibles in the late medieval period: at around the same time her literary texts began to appear in journals and anthologies. [1] There were also two volumes of short stories: "Sommerloch" published in 2000 and "Kavaliersdelikt" in 2004. [6]
In 2004 she took part in the Ingeborg Bachmann literary competition with her book "Kavaliersdelikt", which was listed for inclusion by Ursula März (as one of the jurors): on this occasion Hahn's book was not among the prize winners, however.
Her first full-length novel Kürzere Tage ( Shorter Days ) was published in 2009, and ranked ninth that year on a "SWR-Bestenliste". [2] [7] [lower-alpha 1]
Her 2012 novel, "Am Schwarzen Berg" (At the Black Mountain), deals playfully with motifs from Eduard Mörike, and was well received. [2] [8] The novel appeared on the shortlist for the Leipzig Book Fair Prize and the longlist for the Wilhelm Raabe Literature Prize. [9]
Her novel "Das Kleid meiner Mutter" (My mother's dress), which appeared in 2016, deals with the impact of economic crisis in Spain. It received a more mixed response from at least some of the more mainstream German critics. [2] [5] [10]
In 2018, Hahn was named "Mainzer Stadtschreiberin" by the television channels ZDF and 3sat, and the city of Mainz. [11]
Anna Katharina Hahn is a member of PEN Centre Germany. She lives with her husband, the writer, archivist and literary scholar Jan Bürger, and their sons in Stuttgart. [12]
