Otfried Preussler Obituary
His publisher says Preussler died Monday at his home in Prien am Chiemsee.
The Stuttgart, Germany-based Thienemann publishing house said in a statement Wednesday that 50 million copies of Preussler's books were printed worldwide and translated into more than 50 languages.
Preussler won the European Youth book prize for his novel "Krabat," published in 1971 and translated in English as "The Satanic Mill," in 1973.
In recent years, Preussler was among a number of authors whose works were criticized in Germany for containing terms deemed offensive to minorities.
Preussler was born in Reichenberg, now the Czech town of Liberec, in 1923. He is survived by a daughter.

ein aufrichtiges Beileid geht für Ihre wertvollen Verlust. Ich kann mir nicht einmal vorstellen, die Gedanken und Gefühle durchlaufen Sie jetzt.

Offenbarung 21:3,4
Dann hörte ich eine laute Stimme vom Thron her sagen: „Siehe! Das Zelt Gottes ist bei den Menschen, und er wird bei ihnen weilen, und sie werden seine Völker sein. Und Gott selbst wird bei ihnen sein.Und er wird jede Träne von ihren Augen abwischen, und der Tod wird nicht mehr sein, noch wird Trauer, noch Geschrei, noch Schmerz mehr sein. Die früheren Dinge sind vergangen.“
