Hans Multerer (born February 27, 1892 in Plöß near Neuern ; † July 12, 1945 in Neuern) was a German-speaking writer, actor and broadcaster. He wrote short stories, poems and plays (radio plays).

Life

Multerer was born in Plöß (Pláně) near Neuern (Nýrsko) in the northern Bohemian Forest as the son of an innkeeper. Multerer went to school in Rothenbaum, where the local history researcher Josef Blau was his first teacher. After elementary school, Hans Multerer attended secondary school in Budweis and passed his Abitur in Prague. He went to the university in Vienna to study soil culture. In the middle of his studies in 1913 he was drafted into the military in Graz. During the First World War he was wounded several times and was also taken prisoner by Russia, from where he was able to flee again. After 1918 he decided to study librarianship in Prague to become a librarian. In addition, he was already active as a writer. On February 15, 1926, he married Maria Fremuth, a daughter of the well-known master builder Ing. Fremuth from Neuern. However, the marriage soon ended in divorce. Now he was employed by various newspapers in which his stories and literary work, including poems and serial series, appeared. For his work "Leben und Die oder Saat und Harvest", a play about the life and death of a Bohemian Forest farmer, he founded an amateur drama group only with citizens from Neuern, with whom he played this play on Whit Monday 1935 on the newly built Neuerner Waldbühne, an open-air theater with 600 Seats. He achieved further success with various plays. As an employee of the "Deutsches Sender" in Prague and later in Melnik on the Elbe, he was also able to broadcast his radio plays that he wrote for these stations and that dealt with the life of the people in the Bohemian Forest. From 1938 he worked, among other things, for the Bavarian radio in Munich, where his popular “peasant sermons” were broadcast, which he spoke himself. A collection of stories, “The Sky Blue Car”, appeared before the war began. During the Second World War he was drafted into the security police in Leslau in Poland; from there he was soon transferred to Regensburg. Later he had to go to Nuremberg, where he fell ill. In 1943 his famous Passion Plays "From Nazareth to Golgotha" were still played on the Neuerner Waldbühne, which had premiered in 1936 on the famous open-air theater in Höritz . For health reasons, Hans Multerer was dismissed from military service in 1944. From then on he lived very secluded in his parents' house in Neuern, where he died on June 12, 1945. Multerer was buried at the Neuerner Friedhof St. Thomas.
