History
The association was founded in 1992 in honor of the late poet Rolf Dieter Brinkmann. It was dissolved in November 2012 by decision of members and deleted from the association register in February 2013.

Chotjewitz, Kurt Drawert, Michael Hamburger, Ulla Hahn, Sarah Kirsch, Hermann Peter Piwitt, Jürgen Theobaldy, Richard Wagner, Peter Waterhouse, Wolf Wondratschek and Gerald Zschorsch performed in events of the association.
