Live and act

The son of the community orphan councilor Friedrich Wilhelm Kuhnert had attended high school and then completed an apprenticeship as a miller. This was followed by a university degree in natural sciences. Initially working as a master miller in a practical profession, Kuhnert soon decided to change careers and from then on worked as an author for a wide variety of media. Kuhnert, who has been a freelance writer since 1928, subsequently wrote a number of novels, radio plays and works for youth radio with titles such as Paganini , The Great Mother of the Main , Spanish Romance and Where Does Moral Stay? . From 1929 to 1932 he was also one of two editors of the literary magazine Die Kolonne alongside Martin Raschke .

In the middle of the Second World War , A. Artur Kuhnert also turned to film and began to write scripts, starting with a dramatic story from the violin maker and player milieu ( The Eternal Sound ) . After the end of the war, after an initial flying visit to the east-zonal DEFA , Kuhnert initially found employment with Gyula Trebitschs and Walter Koppelels Hamburger Real-Film , where he wrote scripts for several contemporary and socially realistic material. Subsequently, however, in the last years of his life, he was poached by the East German DEFA. Although still living in the west (Sulzfeld in Bavaria), Kuhnert from then on only wrote manuscripts for the communist state company, including an anti-Western material ( Die Schönste ) , with Hunted until the Morning, but also another precisely observing milieu study from the turn of the century.
