HELGE TIMMERBERG / Deutschland

In the organizer's words:

BEST OF GERMAN GONZO

The world was his world.The desk was his home.Rock'n'roll was his life.

He reads what he wants.

Helge Timmerberg came up with the idea of becoming a journalist when he was 17 in India.At 30, he found his style and shocked the industry with his radical subjectivity.

He was called the German Hunter S. Thompson.That was true for him - until he met his role model.

He spent a week in the hunting lodge of the author of "Fear and Terror in Las Vegas".And after surviving that, he was happy to be Helge Timmerberg.

In the 1980s, he wrote for Tempo.That was pulp fiction as a magazine.

After that, he wrote for just about everything that had a name in journalism.And by the time he was 50, he was writing books - one a year.

About what?About traveling.

"Tigers don't eat yogis".Shiva Moon.African Queen.Gold in the Amazon.Sake with the yakuza.Rockets over Tel Aviv.Nightclubs in Beirut.And so on.

1000 reports.20 books.A few songs.

On his gravestone, he wished for the following wisdom from his own pen: "That's life. Sometimes it goes by and sometimes it misses."
