Life

Hermann Graedener was the son of the composer Hermann Otto Theodor Graedener . He was married to the pianist Magda von Hattingberg-Graedener .

The narrator, playwright and essayist Hermann Graedener wrote historical novels and dramas, which in the 1930s dedicated themselves to the propagation of National Socialist ideas. Graedener's works hardly sold and were “a prime example of the unsaleability of literary products”.

From October 25, 1932 to December 19, 1932, Graedener was the chairman of the German Cultural Association of Austria , a predecessor organization of the Association for German Culture in Austria (KdK). He was also a founding member and first secretary of the Association of German Writers Austria (BdSÖ). He was a contributor to the confessional book of Austrian poets published in 1938 by the BdSÖ in Vienna's Krystall-Verlag , in which the authors enthusiastically welcomed the “ Anschluss ”. From May 1, 1938, he was a member of the NSDAP under the number 6305326. Together with Mirko Jelusich , he founded the Vienna Poets' Circle on July 1, 1939 with the approval of the Reichsschrifttumskammer .

After the end of the war he appeared on the lists of literature to be sorted out published by the German Administration for Popular Education in the Soviet occupation zone with two works. All of his works are listed on the list of banned authors and books published by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education .
