Biography and work

Riedel first studied German and philosophy at the University of Mannheim.[3] This was followed by academic teaching from 1980 to 1989 and his doctorate in modern German literature at the University of Passau. Between the years 1989 and 2017 he was a research fellow and head of the inventory and use department in the library of the German Literature Archive in Marbach, with a focus on the care of the special collections (poets and scholars' libraries, publisher's archives, topic- and author-specific bundles), inter-institutional lending and magazine logistics.[4] In 2018 and 2019 he worked part-time in the literature archive and was responsible for the Marbach Schiller bibliography.

For many years, Riedel was co-editor of the literary magazine "Passauer Pegasus"[5] and a member of the Mecklenburg Literature Society and the German Schiller Society.

Nicolai Riedel has lived in the baroque city of Ludwigsburg since 1989.
