Hans (Heinrich) Heitmann (born January 5, 1904 in Großflintbek ; † September 4, 1970 in Lübeck ) was a German teacher and writer. He wrote mostly in the Low German language.

Life

Heitmann attended the teachers' seminar in Kiel from 1921 to 1924 . In 1924 he found his first job in Rickling . Various positions followed, including a. in Meldorf . In 1935 Heitmann became a teacher at an auxiliary school ( special needs school ) in Lübeck and later became its vice-principal . Since May 1, 1933, he was a member of the NSDAP .

Heitmann achieved great recognition as a Low German poet , especially during the time of National Socialism , but also after its end . He has been a member of the Eutin Poets' Circle since it was founded in 1936 by the National Socialist District President Johann Heinrich Böhmcker . His first novel Carsten Wulf, published in 1938 . En route in't Riek was in Quickborn , the leading magazine for Low German language and literature of the Association for Low German language and literature e. V. positively reviewed as a work that advances "what the German person demands: political poetry in the best sense. ... The individual is nothing; Germany is everything! For Germany everything ... must be sacrificed." That was not an individual judgment. The novel was generally rated "very benevolently" by Nazi critics.

Heitmann wrote radio and stage plays, ballads, short stories and historical novels as well as a biography of Theodor Storms (1940). Starting with Grise Wulf (1937), several of his plays were performed by Richard Ohnsorg or in the Ohnsorg Theater .

He was married to Anneliese, geb. Boysen from Meldorf.
