Life

Hans Tintner had worked as a theater actor at the beginning of his career and came to Munich to film shortly after the First World War . There he stepped in front of the camera and as a director soon also behind the camera. He also wrote scripts from time to time.

Tintner later worked for the Berlin rental company Deutsche Fox AG (Defa) as head of press and eventually became its director. Towards the end of the silent film era, he was more often personally involved in the implementation of film material. 1929 staged Hans Tintner the Goethe -Stoff The Teenage lovers . Immediately afterwards, in 1929/30, he realized his most ambitious work, the social drama Cyankali on the subject of abortion , based on a literary model by Friedrich Wolf . Cyankali was hotly debated in public and only came to the cinemas after numerous editing specifications had been implemented. After another production, the musical Alt-Wiener Volksstück Kaiserliebchen , as well as the German adaptation of the US western The big journey with young John Wayne in the leading role, which was awarded by Defa in Germany and shot in 1930 , Hans Tintner withdrew from the active role Film making back.

A little later the Austrian Jew returned to his old homeland. His later years can hardly be reconstructed. He fled to France , probably shortly after the annexation of Austria to the German Reich , where he was arrested by the German occupying forces during the Second World War . From Paris from deported him German authorities on 19 July 1942 to Auschwitz, where he was murdered on a good two months.
