Michael Wüstefeld (born 12 September 1951) is a German writer.
Life
Born in Dresden, Wüstefeld studied agricultural engineering at the TU Dresden from 1970 to 1974 and graduated with a diploma in engineering after passing the Abitur and the certificate for mechanical engineering. From 1974 to 1991 he worked as a technologist in an engineering office in Dresden. After unemployment in 1992 and a job as an office assistant, he has lived and worked as a freelance author and critic in Dresden since 1993.
He publishes lyric poetry and prose. In keeping with the other media-involving approach of his earliest publications in connection with prints, his work also includes a libretto. Wüstefeld's work has been and continues to be honored by numerous prizes and scholarships.
From 1989 to 2009 he was a co-founder and member of the Independent Writers Association Dresden [de]. Since 1996 Wüstefeld has been a member of the PEN Centre Germany.
