Siegfried Lenz (born 17 March 1926) is a German writer, who has written novels and produced several collections of short stories, essays, and plays for radio and the theatre.
He was awarded the Goethe Prize in Frankfurt-am-Main on the 250th Anniversary of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s birth.
Lenz and his wife, Liselotte, also exchanged over 100 letters with Paul Celan and his wife, Gisele Lestrange between 1952 and 1961.
Siegfried Lenz was born in Lyck, East Prussia (now Ełk, Poland).
He was a son of a customs officer.
After his graduation exam in 1943, he was drafted into the German Navy (Kriegsmarine).

According to documents released in June 2007, he may have joined the Nazi party on 20 April 1944.
This was released with the names of several other well known German authors and persons, like Dieter Hildebrandt and Martin Walser.[1] However, Lenz subsequently said he had been included in a collective ˝joining˝ of the Party without his knowledge.
Shortly before the end of World War II, he defected to Denmark, but became a prisoner of war in Schleswig-Holstein.

After his release, he attended the University of Hamburg, where he studied philosophy, English, and Literary history.
His studies were cut off early, however, as he became an intern for the daily paper Die Welt, and served as its editor from 1950 to 1951.
It was there he met his future wife, Liselotte (died 5 February 2006).
They were married in 1949.

In 1951, Lenz took the money he had earned from his first novel, Habichte in der Luft, and financed a trip to Kenya.
During his time there, he wrote about the Mau Mau Uprising in his history Lukas, sanftmütiger Knecht.
Since 1951, Lenz worked as a freelance writer in Hamburg and was a member of the literature forum ˝Group 47˝.
Together with Günter Grass, he became engaged with the Social Democratic Party and aided the Ostpolitik of Willy Brandt.
A champion of the movement, he was invited in 1970 to the signing of the German-Polish Treaty.
In October 2011 he was made an honorary citizen of Ełk, the successor to his hometown — which became Polish as a result of the border changes promulgated in 1945 by the Potsdam Conference.

Since 2003, Lenz has been a visiting professor at the Düsseldorf Heinrich Heine University and a member of the organization for German orthography and proper speech.
