Juri Sternburg (* November 23, 1983 in West Berlin, is a German music journalist, screenwriter, and playwright.
Biography Sternburg attended elementary school in Berlin-Kreuzberg and later the Jewish high school. In 1995, he played his first stage role in the production Im Schlagschatten des Mondes: Hänsel und Gretel by Thomas Heise at the Berliner Ensemble, a production with children in which Tom Schilling also appeared. From 1996, Sternburg played multiple times at the Deutsches Theater Berlin, among others in Heinrich IV. From 1998, he engaged in graffiti and street art. He also completed internships and practical training in stage design, among others at the Maxim Gorki Theater Berlin and the Deutsches Theater in Almaty, Kazakhstan, where he worked as a stage designer using graffiti art.
ince 2007, Juri Sternburg has regularly written for magazines and newspapers such as TAZ [1], Die Zeit [1], Vice [2], Das Wetter [3], Hate, and Päng. His first radio play, Feierabend (co-authored by Frauke Schmidt), was broadcast on SWR in 2010. In 2011, Sternburg was involved in the distribution of stickers with the slogan "Welcome to Schwabylon" in the center of Berlin. The action played on gentrification and the associated cliché of Swabian hatred. In 2013, the word was used by the group "Free Schwabylon", which declared an autonomous Swabian district in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. Sternburg criticized the action in TAZ [4].
His first play, 6 quadratmeter Chrom, was commissioned by the Berliner Trockenschwimmer Festival in 2007 (directed by Christian Vilmar) and premiered at the Stadtbad Oderberger Straße. His play, der penner ist jetzt schon wieder woanders, was invited to the Heidelberg Stückemarkt in 2010 [5] and to the Berliner Theatertreffen Stückemarkt in 2011, where it was awarded the Förderpreis für neue Dramatik (supporting prize for new drama) [6] [7] . The play premiered at the Maxim-Gorki-Theater in Berlin [8] in January 2012. It was also performed at the Theater Freiburg in March 2012 and presented by the Goethe-Institut Boston [9] as a staged reading, directed by Guy Ben-Aharon. In June 2013, the play was performed at the Festival of European Contemporary Playwrights 2013 in Copenhagen. His play, Wider die Natur! oder Die Desintegrationsmaschine, which was created as part of the literary workshop of the Ballhaus Naunynstraße/Maxim-Gorki-Theater, was presented at the Maxim Gorki [10] Theater in Berlin in December 2013 and at the Ballhaus Naunynstraße in January 2014 [11] . His novel, Das Nirvana Baby [12], was published by Korbinian Verlag in 2015.
In January 2017, the play 10 Commandments premiered at the Deutsches Theater Berlin [13]. Sternburg contributed the commandment "Thou shalt not steal" together with KIZ rapper Maxim Drüner. Other authors included Clemens Meyer and Rocko Schamoni. The production was invited to the Thalia Theater Hamburg and performed there [14] . In February 2019, the stage adaptation of his novel Das Nirvana Baby premiered at the Hamburg Thalia Theater [15] . That same year, Sternburg's brother Léon S. Langhoff directed his play Utopie 3: Öffne dein Herz Ich will den Champagner kaltstellen at the Volkstheater Rostock [16] . Also in Rostock, his new translation and adaptation of Shakespeare's Richard III premiered in September 2019 [17] .
In July 2020, the film In Berlin wächst kein Orangenbaum [18] (directed by Kida Khodr Ramadan), for which Sternburg wrote the screenplay, premiered at the Munich Film Festival [19] . Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was shown at a drive-in theater. In September 2020, his book Das ist Germania – Die Größen des Deutschrap über Heimat und Fremde was published by Droemer Knaur Verlag [20] , followed in September by the book King of Rap, which he co-wrote with Kool Savas [21] and which entered the Spiegel bestseller list at number 3. The ARD series Asbest, written by Sternburg based on an idea by Katja Eichinger and directed by Kida Ramadan, was released in January 2023 and became the most successful ARD Mediathek series since the founding of the Mediathek [22] .
