Hanns Klinger was born in Liberec (German: Reichenberg) in 1926 in North Bohemia . After the expulsion of a large part of the German population from Czechoslovakia after the Second World War , which also affected Klinger, he began studying mathematics at the Georg-August University in Göttingen . He received his doctorate in 1958 under Hans Georg Münzner with the dissertation "On the distribution of the time of ruin with limited risk reserves" . At the Göttingen chair for mathematical statistics, Klinger succeeded Edward Walter as Konrad Jacobs' assistant .

When the "Medical Academy in Düsseldorf" was converted into the University of Düsseldorf (since 1988 Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf ) in 1965 , Hanns Klinger received a call to the new chair for statistics and documentation. Klinger was a founding member of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and remained a full member of the Faculty of Medicine. Within this faculty, Klinger contributed significantly to the establishment of the Institute for Medical Statistics and Biomathematics, of which Hans Joachim Jesdinsky became the first director . Klinger remained the institute's mathematical mentor and paid particular attention to ensuring that a high standard of mathematical and statistical soundness and clarity was maintained.
