by Hans Reimann
Born in Leipzig on November 18, 1889, Hans Reimann was a German humorist, dramatist, journalist, and screenwriter. He was also published under several pseudonyms, including Max Bunge, Hans Heinrich, Artur Sünder, Hanns Heinz Vampir, and Andreas Zeltner.
He became especially known for witty, satirical writing and for his wide range as an author. Sources describe him not just as a novelist and playwright, but also as a publicist and cabaret writer, which helps explain the lively, performative feel often associated with his work.
Reimann died on June 13, 1969, in Schmalenbeck near Hamburg. Today he is remembered as a versatile comic voice in German literature, with a career that reached across print, stage, and screen.
