The estate of the literary scholar and writer Walter Höllerer (1922-2003) has been in the Literaturarchiv Sulzbach-Rosenberg (Sulzbach-Rosenberg Literature Archive) since 2005 and comprises around 250 files, 300 folders and 825 audio cassettes. The collection was catalogued with the support of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and on the Staatsbibliothek Berlin's Kalliope portal. It documents all the areas of work and life of Walter Höllerer, the collection founder. The extensive correspondence with authors such as Ilse Aichinger, Ingeborg Bachmann, Paul Celan, Gregory Corso, Günter Eich, Allen Ginsberg, Günter Grass, Lars Gustafsson, Hermann Hesse, Uwe Johnson, Christoph Meckel, Hans Werner Richter, Alain Robbe-Grillet and Peter Weiss is particularly noteworthy.
As editor of the "Akzente" and "Sprache im technischen Zeitalter" (Language in the Technical Age) journals and as organiser of literary events in West Berlin, Walter Höllerer played a major role in modernising the German-language literary scene, especially in the 1960s. His estate is one of the most important historical sources of the literature business in Germany after 1945.
