Marie-Luise Scherer (15 October 1938 – 17 December 2022) was a German writer and journalist.
Scherer began her career as a reporter for the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger and later wrote for Berliner Morgenpost and Die Zeit. She was a journalist at Der Spiegel from 1974 to 1998, where she became known for her literary reports. More recently, she wrote autobiographical pieces for Sinn und Form, a bimonthly literature journal of the Academy of Arts, Berlin.[1]
In her writing, Scherer wrote a form she characterized as "syllable work", explaining that "two good sentences in one day is a stroke of luck".[2] For more than 20 years, she wrote a maximum of two reports a year for Der Spiegel.[3]
In 2012, Scherer received the Kunstpreis des Saarlandes for literature.[4] Her works have been translated into French, Italian, and Spanish. She lived in Damnatz[5] and died on 17 December 2022, at the age of 84.[6]
