Hans Gertberg (born April 23, 1909 in Rostock ; † June 21, 1970 ) in Hamburg , was a German theater specialist who worked as a director and radio editor.

Live and act

Gertberg studied theater studies and German in Berlin ; he worked as an actor for a while. Shortly after World War II, he went to the radio. Peter von Zahn brought him to the NWDR Hamburg . There he developed the “Schnelldenker-Tournament”, which was broadcast for the first time at Christmas 1946, which was probably the first quiz program in Germany. He also moderated the show Echo of the Day . From 1950 he was also the director of radio plays commissioned; As a director, for example, in 1952 and 1954 he directed the first two seasons of Rolf Becker's Gestatten, my name is Cox, each with Carl-Heinz Schroth in the title role (season 3 then staged SO Wagner in 1959), the five-part Vampire trial by Horst Mönnich , but also The Last Journey of the Sofala by Joseph Conrad . In addition, he himself appeared in a number of productions as a radio play speaker. From 1952 until his death he headed the newly created NDR - jazz department . “In his programs in the series Der Jazzclub , the urge to pass on his great knowledge to the listeners could be felt.” At the suggestion of Rolf Liebermann , he continued to develop the studio jazz concert series that had been in existence since 1952, and since 1958 invited national and NDR jazz workshops Internationally known jazz musicians invited to the NDR, where they presented their results in a concert after rehearsals. The series, which was also adopted by foreign broadcasters, was considered innovative and made a decisive contribution to publicizing the new developments in jazz in the broadcaster's area.
