Wolfgang Hildesheimer (December 9, 1916 - August 21, 1991) was a German author who incorporated the Theatre of the Absurd. He originally trained as an artist, before turning to writing. Hildesheimer was born of Jewish parents in Hamburg. After studying carpentry in Palestine, where his parents had emigrated, he studied painting and stage building in London. In 1946 he worked as a translator and clerk at the Nuremberg Trials. Afterward, he worked as a writer and was a member of Group 47. In 1980, he gave the inaugural address at the Salzburg Festival (Was sagt Musik aus? - What does music say?). In addition to writing, Hildesheimer created collages, which he collected in several volumes (the first Endlich allein, 1984), an activity he shared with other late 20th century writers Peter Weiss and Ror Wolf.
