Hans Bodenstedt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Bodenstedt (born October 25, 1887 in Sudenburg , † December 10, 1958 in Feldafing , Bavaria ) was a German radio pioneer. Bodenstedt worked as a program manager, author and speaker and did a lot for the development of radio reportage and radio play . Bodenstedt wrote libretti , edited operettas for radio performance, wrote fairy tale texts and was the creator of the popular children's radio character "Funkheinzelmann".

Life

Bodenstedt was the son of Louis Bodenstedt and Wilhelmine geb. Schmidt. At the age of 18 he became an editor at the "Harzer Kurier". In 1915 he published Earl of Munchhousen's Adventures in World War I , a collection of loose war adventures of the figure of Baron Münchhausen in World War I , who appears here as an English royalist and rides a torpedo instead of a cannonball, ultimately a propaganda pamphlet to expose the “criminal” intentions the English and other nations.

Stays in Berlin and Munich followed . In 1922, at the age of 35, he became a journalist for the Hamburger Nachrichten . He was enthusiastic about the development of radio and accompanied it journalistically under the pseudonym Sindbad , which drew the attention of the chairman of the supervisory board of Nordische Rundfunk AG (NORAG) to him.

In 1924 Bodenstedt took over the management of the artistic and scientific department as well as the overall management of NORAG as director and also brought Hans Freundt there as author, director and speaker. From June 1, 1929 he was director of NORAG. After the seizure of power of the Nazis Bodenstedtstraße was released as part of the DC circuit of the German broadcasting companies on June 28 1933rd As a registered member of the NSDAP , he became director of the NS publishers “Blood and Soil”, “Zucht und Sitte” and “Ährenlese”. He also acted as editor of the magazines "Odal" and "Zucht und Sitte". Despite his party membership, he was able to work again as an employee at the children's radio of the NWDR in Hamburg after the end of the Second World War .

The Funkheinzelmann, whose author and spokesman was Hans Bodenstedt himself, is called his “favorite child”. The fairy tales of Funkheinzelmann were probably the earliest children's series on German radio, they also appeared as books (1924 and 1925) and as records. The Funkheinzelmann is one of the earliest examples of the marketing of a radio figure and an example of a well-functioning media network .

Between 1939 and 1944 he was the editor of 26 volumes of the series "Die Bücher der Ährenlese", which was published by "Verlag Blut und Boden" in Goslar. In 1946, Max Grundig called his legendary first radio (kit) Heinzelmann , and it is very likely that Funkheinzelmann could be the godfather.

Hans Bodenstedt was Alice Fliegel's second husband . For health reasons, he said goodbye to radio in 1953 and moved to Upper Bavaria, where he died at the age of 71.
