Hans Müller-Schlösser (born June 14, 1884 in Düsseldorf ; † March 21, 1956 there ) was a Düsseldorf Regiolect poet and playwright . His best-known play is the story of the master tailor Schneider Wibbel , which premiered on July 14, 1913 in Düsseldorf and has been filmed several times since the 1930s.

Life

Hans Müller-Schlösser was born in Düsseldorf in 1884 as the son of a former seafarer . Müller-Schlösser later wrote that his father's seafaring diary had fired his imagination and "probably gave him the first impetus for his later career".

Müller-Schlösser attended the Royal High School in Düsseldorf. During his school days, Müller-Schlösser worked together on school productions with his childhood friends Paul Henckels , Peter Esser and Heinrich Spoerl , who later also became popular as actors and writers . Henckels later directed and played the leading role in the first film adaptation of Schneider Wibbel (1931). Hans Müller-Schlösser married Hedwig (Hede) Pretzlik and was related by marriage to Heinrich Spoerl.

After discontinuing activities as a chemist and in the office of the Düsseldorf City Hall, Müller-Schlösser initially worked as a local reporter for the “ Düsseldorfer Latest News ” and as an occasional actor. The first publications date from 1905.

After he had offered the manuscript of his play Schneider Wibbel to the Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf for the first time in vain in the winter of 1910/11 , it was finally accepted in 1912 and premiered on July 14, 1913. The theater director of the Schauspielhaus, Gustav Lindemann , had, however, firmly expected that the play would fail the audience. In order to limit the damage to his house, he chose a traditionally poorly attended date in midsummer for the performance. To his great surprise, the performance was a huge success. A quarter of a century later, Müller-Schlösser redesigned his comedy into an opera libretto for the composer Mark Lothar . As opera Schneider Wibbel it had its world premiere on May 12, 1938 at the State Opera Unter den Linden in Berlin.

Müller-Schlösser published over forty plays, volumes of poetry and stories as well as books on Düsseldorf's local history, many of them in Düsseldorf's Rheinisch .

Shortly after the publication of his personal memories of his theater experiences ( ink and make-up ), Müller-Schlösser died on March 21, 1956 in his native city of Düsseldorf. He was buried in the north cemetery.
