Editing Heinrich Böll (section)

==Legacy and influence==
Böll's memory lives on, among other places, at the [[Heinrich Böll Foundation]]. The [[Historical Archive of the City of Cologne|Cologne Library]] set up the Heinrich Böll Archive to house his personal papers, bought from his family, but much of the material was damaged, possibly irreparably, when the building collapsed in 2009.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Connolly|first1=Kate|title=Acclaimed German writer's archive lost in building collapse|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/mar/06/heinrich-boll-archive-cologne|newspaper=The Guardian|access-date=23 July 2014|date=6 March 2009}}</ref>

His cottage in Ireland has been used as a residency for writers since 1992.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Residency |url=http://www.heinrichboellcottage.com/html/Residency.html |website=Heinrich Böll Cottage |access-date=24 July 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141022135726/http://heinrichboellcottage.com/html/Residency.html |archive-date=22 October 2014 }}</ref>
