Hans Mehl wrote - in the successor of Konrad Grübel - exclusively in Franconian dialect. He was co-founder of the Collegium of Nuremberg Dialect Poets and at times its spokesman. Mehl's texts became known beyond the local Nuremberg area through the "Bairisch Herz-Ausgabe Franken" series of the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation , which he sometimes also moderated.

Occasionally he played the violin in performances with the "Loonharder Singers and Musicians". He also wrote some songs for her.

Mehl's best-known work is the Franconian Christmas , written in the late 1960s , a version of the Christmas story in Franconian dialect. The story was read primarily through the event of the same name, which has been organized since then in the Nuremberg Heilig-Geist-Saal by the Loonharder Musikanten, a Nuremberg folk music group, and the Bavarian State Association for Home Care. As an event form, this mixture became the model for hundreds of pre-Christmas concerts, similar to the Salzburg Advent Singing .

The theological author Klaus Raschzok sees the work as the beginning of a series of texts devoted to the proclamation in Franconian dialect.

For his work, Hans Mehl received the Federal Cross of Merit on Ribbon in 1977 and the Franconian Cube in 1988 .
