About the author
Born in Hanover on November 27, 1893, Hans Arthur Thies was a German author and editor. Major library and authority records identify him as a writer from Germany, and they place both his birth and death in Hanover.
The available reference sources are brief, but they consistently describe him as a Schriftsteller and Redakteur—a writer and editor. His surviving bibliography shows that he published prose, including Die Gnadenwahl, which remains accessible in digitized form and helps keep his name in circulation for modern readers.
Thies died on December 6, 1954. While detailed biographical accounts are not easy to find, the record that does survive suggests a literary career rooted in German-language publishing and tied closely to his home city of Hanover.
