Norbert Niemann (born 20 May 1961, in Landau an der Isar) is a German writer.
He grew up in Niederbayern. He studied literature, musicology and modern history at the University of Regensburg, and at the University of Munich. From 1983 to 1985, during his studies in Regensburg, Niemann was instrumentalist and vocalist of the New Wave band Thieves of the night, for whom he also composed and wrote lyrics for the first time. Together with authors of the same age, such as Marcel Beyer and Durs Grünbein, Niemann became an associate and editor of the Literaturzeitschrift Konzepte, as well as a member of the group "Schöner Wohnen". For his novel Die Einzigen (Berlin Verlag), some of the recordings of "Diebe der Nacht" were re-edited. Niemann obtained the academic degree of the Magister Artium in 1989 with a work on New Subjectivity. Since 1997, he has lived with his family as a freelance writer in Chieming am Chiemsee.
Norbert Niemann is the author of numerous essays and critiques as well as the author of four time-romances. His social criticism and his poetics of changing narrative techniques are influenced, among other things, by Adornos / Horkheimer's Dialectics of Enlightenment, Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault. Niemann's analytical approach is classified by the criticism in the succession of Robert Musil, Joseph Roth, Thomas Mann, or Arthur Schnitzler.[1]
