In the present paper the author conducts a diachronic and synchronic survey of the impact Christoph Hein’s dramas had on the West-German stage. Christoph Hein, an East-German writer born in 1944, exerted great influence both on the FRG and the GDR public. One of the few GDR dissidents who managed not only to survive but also to publish his work in his home country, Hein was part of the remarkable underground culture promoted by authors and readers who managed to get close to the idea of free public speech via reading sessions, stage performances and other similar cultural events, as well as by smuggling books. Unlike the previous generation of writers, who had gone through the barbaric Nazi regime, and unlike the following generation of writers of the 70s and 80s, who had experienced the collapse of GDR, Hein and his contemporaries were prone to an idealism which was nonetheless doomed to failure and which subsequently led to a sense of skepticism and bitter irony. The Western approach to Hein’s literature exhibited two major trends – one aiming at the literary work through the writer’s affiliation or non-affiliation to the socialist party and the other one viewing the author’s texts as chronicles of the Eastern society of that time.
