Hans Reiser (born March 29, 1888 in Munich ; † August 4, 1946 there ) was a German writer .

Life

Hans Reiser was the son of a factory worker . After attending primary school , he began an apprenticeship as a locksmith . He broke this off and switched to glass painting . After dropping out again, he went to Eisenach , where he worked as a milling cutter in a car factory . After a serious accident at work, he returned to Munich and worked there as an office worker. Later he went on a two-year hike that took him to Tyrol , Italy and Switzerland . After his return he cultivated connections to the Schwabing bohemian in Munich . Around 1910 he finally gave up his attempts to exercise a civil profession. In 1913 he married for the first time; until 1914 he lived in Brussels . At the outbreak of World War I he enlisted in Munich as a volunteer and took until 1918 as a soldier on the Western Front in the fighting part.

After the end of the First World War , Hans Reiser lived in Bad Tölz , where he earned his living with carpentry work. After his first marriage was divorced , he married a second time; this connection also failed. From 1920 Reiser was a factory worker in Munich ; in addition, he dealt with handicraft drawings and the writing of literary works. In 1928 he traveled to Peru to study ; the year-long crossing of the country influenced him significantly. He returned to Germany and lived in Berlin for the following years . In 1932 he made his second trip to Peru, this time as part of the Montaña expedition , which intended to carry out a collective settlement project there. Although this project failed quickly, which he wrote about in his 1936 book One Goes into the Wilderness , Reiser stayed in Peru for several years. He worked as a farmer and at the same time studied the nature and culture of the country. During his stay, he recorded his impressions in numerous watercolors of ethnographic quality. A serious tropical disease forced him to return to Germany in 1935.

In the following years Reiser lived in different places: initially in Berlin , then in Upper Bavaria , from 1938 to 1939 in Italy , 1939/1940 in Tyrol and finally from 1941 in the Upper Bavarian town of Oberdießen .

Hans Reiser was the author of novels , short stories and poems . In 1920, with his novella Nacht, he was one of the first German authors to process his war experiences in literary terms. Reiser's work has two thematic focuses: on the one hand, the vagabond life , as it is portrayed in the novels Cherpens Binscham, der Landstreicher , Yatsuma and Der beliebte Trolch (a fantastic version of the biography of François Villon ), and on the other hand, the experience of the Peruvian stays which were reflected in the works published from 1936 onwards.

Hans Reiser's estate is in the Munich City Library .
