Life

Nierentz was the son of a teacher. As early as 1930 he belonged to the NSDAP (party number 348.118). After working in the editorial office of the Berlin NSDAP newspaper Der Attack , Nierentz switched to the Reichsender Berlin , where he became head of the art and worldview department in 1934. As the successor to Willi Krause , who was known as a writer under the name Peter Hagen , he held the post of Reichsfilmdramaturge from 1936 to 1937 . After founding the Berlin television station Paul Nipkow , which was initially headed by Carl Boese , Nierentz became its first director on April 22, 1937 . He expanded the staff of the until then tiny station and promoted the production of television games , for which he also wrote templates himself. His term of office was overshadowed by tensions with his direct superior, the Reichsintendent of the German Broadcasting Corporation Heinrich Glasmeier . From mid-1939 he worked for the Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda .

Hans-Jürgen Nierentz u. a. with poems based on National Socialist ideas and with the script for Frank Wisbar's feature film Fährmann Maria (1935). Since 1940 he has also written soldiers' songs. During the propaganda Christmas ring broadcast in 1940, he appeared as a reporter and soldier in a propaganda company in occupied Narvik .
