* Günter Wilhelm Grass (born Günter Wilhelm Graß on October 16, 1927, in Danzig-Langfuhr, Free City of Danzig; died April 13, 2015, in Lübeck) was a German writer, sculptor, draftsman, and printmaker, as well as a controversial intellectual in the debate surrounding the democratic development of Germany after the Second World War. In 1999, Grass was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, with the justification that he had enabled a new beginning for German literature after decades of moral and linguistic devastation.
