"Des Menschen wahre Wahrheit": Golo Mann im Interview (1989) 1/6

[@ShorkGamer]

Einen immensen Dank für diesen Schatz!

Ich empfinde so : Golo Mann ist für mich das „normalste“ und sympathischste Familienmitglied. Es ist doch deutlich spürbar, wie belastend ein großer Name sein kann. Wie ambivalent diese Gefühle sein müssen… jedenfalls wirkt es auf mich so.

Ganz ganz herzlichen Dank, was für ein Schatz - und daß Sie ihn erkannt und gehoben haben!

Ein wunderbares Beispiel, wie vor der Jahrtausendwende TV-Dokumentationen produziert werden konnten. Keine Oberflächlichkeiten, nervigen Einspieler, Stakkato -Bildschnitte und alles Niveau unterbietende Sprache.

So ein kluger Mensch.... Und dann war ich ein halbes Jahr still... sagte er..😢😢😢

Ich lese gerade "Buddenbrooks", seines Vaters großes Werk. Golo Manns "Wallenstein" hab ich auch, jedoch noch nicht gelesen. Kenne noch als Kind gleichnahmigen Vierteiler, an welchem er dramaturgisch mitwirkte. Golo Mann kann man stundenlang zuhören, er hat eine sehr angenehme Stimme und wirkt äußerst sympatisch. Ich stell mir gerade eine DVD zusammen mit Dokus über die Familie Mann, dieses Video passt hervorragend da rein. Vielen Dank für diesen Schatz und den Upload 😃👍, einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr

Very moving to see Erika's brother, Klauss and get a little closer to the literary world of Stefan Zweig. Thank you for sharing wonderful! From Paris!

[@ManuelaHertel]

Thank your for your kind comment. A small correction in case I did understand you correctly: Golo is the second eldest son of Thomas Mann (incidentally the resemblance to his father is striking like no other of the sons) while Klaus, who committed suicide in Cannes in 1949, was the eldest one. Professor Mann speaks with great affection about his older siblings Erika and Klaus and about the very difficult relationship with his father Thomas but the writer Stefan Zweig is not mentioned.

@@ManuelaHertelYes of course it was Golo Erika's brother and not Klauss, I was wrong. When I was talking about Zweig it was thanks to him that I discovered the world of Mann's and the correspondence of Klauss and Zweig. And to see this video even if I do not speak German (I'm French) really gave me emotion because even if I would not have understood but just hear a voice of Golo Mann is already splendid. Thank you verey very much Manuela!

@@sandrellipietro9939 My pleasure!

​@@ManuelaHertel nochmals danke Manuella. I have long sought to listen to the voice of Erika mann and Klauss, and lately my dream was fulfilled because I discovered their two voices, that of Erika and the voice of Klauss on his return to Germany in 1945 where he returns to his bombed house. You don't know if we can visit her and her address? Thank you endlessly!

@@sandrellipietro9939 Sadly you can't visit most of the former residences of the Mann family. Only the Buddenbrookhaus in Lübeck, where Thomas Mann and his elder brother Heinrich were born, is a museum. In 2018 the former residence of Thomas Mann in Pacific Palisades during his exile in the United States has become a museum. The original family residence of Thomas Mann was located at Poschingerstraße 1 in Munich and was visited by Klaus Mann in May 1945. He sadly wrote about the encounter with his old home in an newspaper article titled "You can't go home again." The house was demolished in 1952, and a new one for new owners was built at the same place. Thomas Mann had no intention to claim his former property nor even to return to Germany permanently after the Second World War but he visited several German cities including his hometown Lübeck. After his return from the Californian exile Thomas Mann took residence in a mansion in the Swiss village of Kilchberg on the west bank of Lake Zurich. After his death in 1955 his widow Katia, his children Erika and Golo lived there. The interior of the house is described as very somber and depressing. Katia died there in 1980 surviving three of her children (Klaus, Erika and Michael). Golo Mann lived in Kilchberg until 1992. Then he moved to Leverkusen because of his bad health and was nursed there by the wife of his adopted son. The surviving siblings (Golo, Monika and Elisabeth) were deeply estranged at that time and never reconciliated. Golo even insisted not to be buried in the family grave at the Kilchberg cemetary. He and Klaus, who is buried in Cannes, are the only members of the Mann family who are not buried in the family grave. The mansion in Kilchberg was sold by Golo Manns daughter-in-law without any information to the other family members in 1995 and the villa is now in private property of other people. I highly recommend you to watch the brilliant documentary drama "Die Manns - Ein Jahrhundertroman" by Heinrich Breloer. This magnificient minseries combines original recordings and documentary film scenes with feature film scenes and is a wonderful portrayal of fhe whole Mann family. As a bonus the DVD includes a three-part documentary about the Mann family. It's still available but sadly has no subtitles for non-German speaking viewers.
