Leben und Werk des Achim von Arnim

Jürgen Knaack, born in 1946, studied German studies, German literature and art history at the University of Hamburg from 1965 to 1973. He received his doctorate in 1973. He was employed by the Hamburg publishing house Gruner+Jahr from 1973 to 2003. From 1973 to 1979 he helped to set up the G+J press database. During this time he trained as a scientific documentalist in Frankfurt/Main and gave numerous lectures on the development of the G+J press database. From the founding of the art magazine "art" in 1979 until autumn 2003, he worked there as a documentary journalist. During this time, he wrote about 150 reviews and smaller articles for the magazine and built up an extensive art library. Parallel to his gainful employment, Knaack worked as a publicist and literary scholar and was, among other things, co-editor of the works of Achim von Arnim at the Deutscher Klassiker Verlag. Since 1991 he has been a contributor to the historical-critical “Weimarer Arnim Ausgabe” (WAA). In 1995, together with other Arnim researchers, he founded the “Internationale Arnim Gesellschaft” (IAG), of which he was treasurer until 2013. In 2005 he opened an Arnim memorial in Zernikow.
