Daniela Dahn (9 October 1949 in Berlin) is a German writer, journalist and essayist. ==Biography== Dahn is the daughter of the journalist Karl-Heinz Gerstner and fashion journalist Sibylle Gerstner, founder of the East German fashion magazine "Sibyl", and the older sister of Sonja Gerstner, who famously documented her own mental illness and the professional treatment she received. Dahn was brought up in Kleinmachnow, Brandenburg in what was then East Germany. Daniela Dahn studied journalism in Leipzig and then worked as a television journalist, editing for GDR Television, before turning to freelance writing in 1981. In 1989 Dahn became one of the founders of the GDR opposition group Democratic Awakening. She later withdrew from it.〔 (Deutsch)〕 The Party of Democratic Socialism controversially introduced Dahn as one of their two candidates for the office of Constitutional Court judge in Brandenburg, in 1998. Her nomination was challenged by the Social Democratic Party of Germany and her candidacy was retracted at the last moment, after heated debate among the parties of the Brandenburg state parliament.〔 (Deutsch)〕 Dahn serves on the Executive Board of the writers' association PEN and lectures internationally.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=23 February 2010 ) 〕 Dahn is also on the Advisory Board of the Humanist Union, and has held the post of Writer in Residence at Sunderland University in the UK. In addition, Dahn is co-editor of the weekly newspaper ''der Fritag''. Her husband Jochen Laabs was from 1999 to 2001 Vice-President of PEN Center in Germany. Along with Christa Wolf, with whom she has collaborated in the past, Dahn was seen as a possible choice by Die Linke as their candidate for President of Germany in the 2009 presidential election.〔 (Deutsch)〕 Peter Sodann was eventually chosen instead. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniela Dahn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
