by Walter Rummel
Walter Freiherr von Rummel was a German writer. The most basic biographical records agree that he was born on April 15, 1873, in Nuremberg and died on October 3, 1953, in Munich.
Reference entries describe him as a novelist and dramatist. A German Wikipedia entry also notes that during the First World War, from January 1916 to January 1917, he served as a liaison officer from the press section of the Bavarian War Ministry to the War Press Office in Berlin.
Reliable public sources available here give only a concise outline of his life, so many personal details remain unclear. Even so, he stands as one of those authors whose work survives mainly through literary archives and biographical dictionaries rather than broad modern fame.
