Arno Hach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arno Hach (born November 23, 1877 in Chemnitz ; missing since 1945; actually Arno Max Reinhard Hengsbach ) was a German publisher and writer .

Live and act

Arno Hach attended high school in Chemnitz and studied art history at the Technical University of Dresden since 1899 . He then lived as a publishing editor in Chemnitz and Leipzig , and since 1913 in Berlin . Between 1901 and 1920 he emerged with several book publications. He wrote poems and plays in the Ore Mountains dialect. His main interest, however, was the fantastic (fairy tales, stories, stories between dream and reality). As an officer, he took part in the First World War. The experiences at the front possibly influenced his main work The Head of the Maori , published in 1920 .

After 1930, Hach devoted himself to the urban and cultural history of Berlin. The brochure Alt-Berlin in the mirror of its churches , published in 1933, was his last book publication. From 1942 he lived with his wife in East Prussia. In 1945 his trail is lost in Danzig while on the run. Reprints of several of his works have appeared in recent years. Two of his early works can no longer be found today.
