Wolfgang Jeschke

Wolfgang Jeschke (19 November 1936 – 10 June 2015)[1][2] was a German science fiction author and editor at Heyne Verlag.

After the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia after World War II, he grew up in Asperg near Ludwigsburg.

In 1959, he went back to complete the Abitur and studied German, English literature, and philosophy at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.

This imprint published a number of important authors in German for the first time, including Robert Silverberg, Thomas M. Disch, and Brian W. Aldiss.

After Franke's departure in 1979, Jeschke was the sole science fiction editor at Heyne, where he remained until his retirement in 2002.
