Emil Hadina

Emil Hadina (born November 15, 1885 in Vienna ; † August 4, 1957 in Ingolstadt ) was an Austrian-Sudeten German writer and teacher .

Life

Emil Hadina moved in 1897 with his parents in their home, in the then inhabited almost exclusively by Germans city Opava (Czech Opava) in the Austrian crown land Silesia ( Austrian Silesia ), where he in 1904 graduated . There he also became a member of the pennal association “Alemannia Troppau”. He then studied at the Universities of Graz and Berlin and earned the Dr. phil.

Hadina first worked as a high school teacher in Bielitz ( Austrian Silesia ), Iglau ( Moravia ) and finally in Opava. There he was promoted to director and worked a. a. also as editor of the Deutsche Post .

He had already begun to write in the Romantic style before the First World War . His impressionistic and neo-romantic poems are linked to Austrian literature. Longing for beauty and silence in his atmospheric and musically floating poetry , as well as in his prose , summery moods and love of women fill many volumes of poetry and novels .

In his poems, Sturm und Stille (1916), celebrating World War I , he not only praised the watch on the Rhine , but also the watch on the Danube . The opponents of the emperor and fatherland, the brave people of the Serbs, are struck by lightning from the Lord. Destroyed with wife and child / So God judged them! / With man and horse and chariot / So God smashed them!

After the Second World War he was expelled from his home country as a Sudeten German and came back to Vienna in 1946, where he continued to work as a writer and employee of newspapers and magazines until his death .
