Helmut Bartuschek (25 December 1905 – 18 May 1984) was a German poet and translator of French literature.
Life
Born Gliwice/Oberschlesien, Bartuschek moved to Leipzig in 1922, where he passed the Abitur in 1925 and studied Romance languages and literature, art history, philosophy and librarianship. In 1940, he was drafted for military service. After his release from French captivity (1944-1948) he lived in Leipzig again.
Bartuschek made his debut with poems in 1929 in an anthology edited by Klaus Mann. His first own volume of poetry was promoted by Georg Maurer.
Bartuschek died in Leipzig at the age of 74.
