Erich Hannighofer
Erich Hannighofer (born February 25, 1908 in Königsberg ; missing since January 1, 1945 ) was a German writer.
Life
Hannighofer was a state employee in Königsberg and at times also worked as a Christian lay preacher. He was friends with Ernst Wiechert , Agnes Miegel and Walter Scheffler . At the beginning of the 1940s he was drafted and came to the Eastern Front , where he has been missing near Bartenstein / Heilsberg since 1945 . According to the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge, his name and personal data can be found in the memorial book of the Bartosze cemetery.
The Christian faith and the love for the East Prussian homeland were decisive for his work , which is evident in his main work, the novella Erde (1937), as well as in his best-known work, the poem Land of the Dark Forests , which is set by Herbert Brust as the East Prussian song and crystal lakes (1933). Other works remained unfinished, including the story Thor and Terra and a planned great East Prussian novel .
