Live and act
The writer, literary scholar and captain collector moved from Dresden-Hellerau to Radebeul in the Hohenhaus in 1947.
After the Hauptmann Memorial was opened there on November 14, 1948, Weiss' large collection of Gerhart Hauptmann and Carl Hauptmann works as well as additional secondary literature on these two formed the basis for the Radebeul Hauptmann Archive, which opened in Hohenhaus on June 6, 1949 , which Hansgerhard Weiss also directed initially. In 1950 Weiss moved to West Germany, while the Hauptmann archive was moved to the Hoflößnitz Kavalierhaus and in 1961 to Bennostraße 41 ( Villa Steinbach ).
The best known of Weiss' numerous novels, radio plays and biographies is the documentary novel Die Schwestern vom Hohenhaus , which dates from 1938 and is about the three Thienemann daughters Marie, Martha and Adele, who married Gerhart and Carl Hauptmann and their brother Georg. In addition, he was the editor of Bernhard Weiss (1827-1918) from ninety years of life .
