Hans Joachim Toll (born September 18, 1900 in Hanover ; † February 1, 1978 there ) was a German journalist and writer . He is best known for his Hanover dictionary .

Life

Hans Joachim Toll studied civil engineering at the Technical University of Hanover , but dropped out after taking the pre-exam. Since the 1920s he worked as a local editor for the Hannoversche Kurier , but also wrote " humorous " in the satirical weekly Simplicissimus .

After the end of the Second World War , Toll worked as an editor at Der Spiegel magazine, which was newly founded by Rudolf Augstein in Hanover . Together with Werner Hühne , he was considered a bourgeois editor about whom the British Major John Seymour Chaloner , who was responsible for the approval of the magazine after the war , said: "I took the best people from the regional newspapers".

After working temporarily in Düsseldorf for the magazine Elegante Welt , he went back to his hometown to manage the local editorial office of the Neue Presse (NP), where he was finally promoted to deputy NP editor-in-chief .

Hans Joachim Toll also remained known posthumously , above all through his Hanoverian dictionary , which, published in various name variants and by various publishers, became a collection of several volumes of typical Hanoverian idioms , words of the dialect as well as the customs and idiosyncrasies of the Hanoverians.

The street Hans-Joachim-Toll-Weg , laid out in 1986 in the Hanover district of Badenstedt , was named after him.
