An event will be held on January 8th in Frankfurt, Germany on the first death anniversary. He will be remembered as a poet, literate and a devout Muslim who never tired of searching and working.
Hadayatullah Hübsch (born on January 8th, 1946 in Chemnitz – died on January 4, 2011; born as Paul-Gerhard Hübsch) was a German author, journalist, activist of the 68s movement and long-time spokesman of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Germany. From 1992 to 2000 he was chairman of the Association of German Writers (VdS) in Hesse. In his last years he worked as a writer in Frankfurt, Germany.
He is remembered on his death anniversary by many Newspapers, such as Frankfurter Rundschau “he was a “spoken-word-poet” long before this term became popular.”

This memorial was first of this kind and that means every year we will remember a person who had a long path as a poet and an activist to a peace loving and a devout Ahmadi-Muslim and Imam of Nur-Mosque in Frankfurt, till his last breath.
