2013 endet in München eine Ära. Michael Krüger, der langjährige Leiter des Hanser Verlags, zieht sich aus dem aktiven Verlagsgeschäft zurück. Er hat nicht nur den Verlag geleitet und die Zeitschrift Akzente herausgegeben. Als Dichter und Schriftsteller, als Kritiker, Herausgeber und Übersetzer bleibt er weiterhin aktiv. Im deutschen Kulturleben ist er omnipräsent und unverzichtbar. Zu seinem 80. Geburtstag legt der leidenschaftlich Lesende, Schreibende, Verlegende nun eine Rückschau auf sein reiches Leben vor. Er berichtet von seiner Kindheit in Sachsen-Anhalt, seiner Jugend in Berlin, der Arbeit in München, den literarischen Reisen und von der Fülle seiner Begegnungen und Erlebnisse mit deutschsprachigen und internationalen Dichtern; mit den meisten war er befreundet. Im Anhang ein Gespräch mit Knud Cordsen

Der 1960 erschienene umfangreiche Essay "Masse und Macht" wird von nicht wenigen Literaturkritikern zum magnum opus des Literatur-Nobelpreisträgers von 1981 erklärt. Die in diesem, ursprünglich zu Canettis 90. Geburtstag zusammengestellten Band präsentierten knapp 30 Aufsätze von Wissenschaftlern unterschiedlichster Fachrichtungen, Kritikern, Journalisten und Schriftstellern belegen nachdrücklich, welche Fundgrube an Einsichten Canettis großer Essay bereit hält. Der Band liest sich darüber hinaus durch die Vielfalt der behandelten Aspekte der erfreulich knapp gehaltenen Beiträge sehr anregend. Nach allgemeinen Einführungen (zuletzt "Wortmasken": BA 1/96) und als derzeit konkurrenzloser Kommentar zu "Masse und Macht". (3)

The paper presents the concept underlying a research project on the history of sports medicine in Germany. The origins and most intensive development of sports medicine have been in Germany. In fact, sports medicine in Germany is associated with various doping scandals from the past, beginning with the Sports Medical Service in
the former East Germany, which consistently delivered so-called 'sustaining means' to East German athletes. However, so too were there the West-German networks of doping doctors like those at Freiburg University, represented by such protagonists as Joseph Keul and Armin Klümper. However, (West-) German society has made these and other sports physicians into celebrities, which
seems to be unique compared to other countries. Yet the history of German sports medicine is by no means limited to unethical or even illegal doping.
Sports doctors also initiated anti-doping concepts. Beyond doping and antidoping, the history of German sports medicine reveals a broad spectrum of genuine medical aid and research, all located somewhere between prevention, medical and social aid, medication, trauma surgery, and rehabilitation by means of physical exercise, education, and sports. Sports medicine, not only in Germany, 'sells' movement and sport as the most effective and legitimate drug against diseases of every kind, and for health and well-being. The project aims to research the remarkable and ambivalent history of German sports medicine by studying new and complex historical documents and oral history. The first and main part of the article provides essentially a state of the art history of German sports medicine, including an overview of the essential steps comprising its complex historical development. The second part is an attempt to conceptualize the current research project with respect to the various issues within
this history.
