Hans Otto Henel

Hans Otto Henel (* 1888 ) was a German author and journalist in a socialist environment.

In 1924 Henel published his first work, the socially critical collection of short stories Schuldige? Stories of poor thieves . In 1926 he wrote his best-known work to this day with Eros in the barbed wire , which contains 17 stories by soldiers from the First World War "about the misery of love in times of war". Karl Plättner had this work in 1928 for his autobiographical story Eros im Zuchthaus. Longing cries of tortured people for love inspired by the love life of prisoners.

Henel has also published articles and film reviews for the Leipziger Volkszeitung (secured 1923–1929). Film reviews were also printed in the Münchner Telegramm-Zeitung.
