Life and work[]
Steigenberger studied architecture at Technical University of Munich and worked until 2000 in the same profession. Since then he has worked as a freelance and writing reviews and organizing reading and writing seminars. In addition, he moderates two radio broadcasts for LORA Munich and is co-editor of the literary magazine .[3] He is a member of the poetry group Rhyme Free and was from 2008 to 2011 participant in the Darmstadt Text Workshop . Together with , he is considered one of the driving forces in the development of a contemporary Munich lyric poetry scene.[4] Steigenberger mainly writes poetry, but also published a novel and wrote plays. Numerous texts also appeared in literary journals (e.g. Das Gedicht, , , Ostragehege) and anthologies (e.g. in 2020, ).
Steigenberger moderated the one-hour radio program "Schöner Stottern" ("Beautiful Stuttering"), from 2007 to 2015, together with Enrico Strathausen.[5] The program offered information on stuttering, but above all on the social perception of stuttering and the associated exclusion. The program was perceived as a successful attempt to counteract social discrimination against stuttering people. The fact that both moderators themselves stuttered was a peculiarity and was considered a taboo because stuttering people would not normally have access to the radio and television media.[6]
Steigenberger is married and lives in Munich.
