Before her debut as a writer,Irina Liebmann had drawn attention to herself with award -winning radio plays and impressive reports in the weekly post. She had supported her sinology studies and work as an editor of the German Foreign Policy magazine in sharpening the view of reality and creating new literary works.
This method of exploring your topics and the use of historical images to illuminate the present has retained it over the years. This can also be seen in their later works, such as in "Große Hamburger Straße", which was published in 2020. The meticulousness in the historical detail and attention to life stories are also unmistakable here.
Another book by Irina Liebmann is "in Berlin", in which she leads her main character, who also bears the name Liebmann, through the research and exploration of the protagonist. It is about the two halves of Berlin and the commuting between Pankow and Charlottenburg. The book addresses what these conditions do with people. It was published in 1994 and differed from the required turning novels of that time, since the author dealt with less external changes.
Another work by Irina Liebmann is "last summer in Germany. A romantic journey" that was published three years later. In this book, the author explores the changes after reunification, in particular the blooming landscapes in eastern Germany and the origin of western prosperity. Historical details are also integrated here. The table of contents combines the places rhythmically with the impressions experienced.
Irina Liebmann's best -known book, "Would it be nice? It would be nice! My father Rudolf Herrnstadt", was awarded the price of the Leipzig Book Fair. In this book she researches her own family history and portrays her father, who was a communist and for a long time covered reality with his ideals. However, when he rebelled against Walter Ulbricht in 1953 and demanded that the SED be a party of the working class, he lost the power struggle and was deported from East Berlin to the province. The book was recently released at Schöffling & Co.
In her thanks and lectures, Irina Liebmann repeatedly emphasizes the importance of literature as a critical medium. It stands out what is not mentioned in the newspapers, also in the democratic press of the United Land. She sees a reference to history and shares this attitude with authors like Uwe Johnson. For them, writing is not just a accumulation of facts, but a melody that includes the space and conveys the lights of time and the sound of the past.
