from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Fritz Köllner (often trading as HF Köllner , born as Hans Fritz Albert Alfred Köllner ; born May 23, 1896 in Dresden , German Empire , † December 21, 1976 in Berlin ) was a German writer , screenwriter and film director .

Live and act

The son of travel agent Max Theodor Franz Köllner began to work as a playwright, developing material that would later prove to be suitable for films (e.g. Stern von Rio and The Beautiful Galathee ). Born in Dresden, he made his first experiences with the celluloid industry in the final stages of silent film, for example in 1927 (production manager for the historical drama Mata Hari ). With the dawn of the sound film era, Köllner found regular employment as a screenwriter, and from 1931 Köllner wrote numerous manuscripts on a wide variety of genre reproductions, often in collaboration with colleagues. In the case of the Nazi propaganda material Die See ruft, produced for the German labor frontIn 1941, HF Köllner also directed a full-length film for the first time. After five years of cinematic inactivity, he was brought in by the newly founded DEFA in 1946 and had him direct the unfinished artist film Allez Hopp based on his own script . In the years that followed, Köllner only supplied unambitious West German and Austrian productions without leaving a special impression.
