Kurt Heynicke (born September 20, 1891 in Liegnitz , † March 18, 1985 in Merzhausen ) was a German writer .
Life
Kurt Heynicke was the son of a piano maker . After attending elementary school in Legnica , Dresden , Zeitz and Berlin and a teaching as a clerk , he worked as a clerk in an insurance . From 1914 to 1918 he took part in the First World War as a volunteer in the medical service , both on the Western and Eastern Fronts. During this time Heynicke's first poems appeared in Herwarth Walden's magazine Der Sturm . After the end of the war, Heynicke worked as an industrial clerk and from 1921 to 1924 as a bank clerk. From 1924 to 1926 he was dramaturge at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus and from 1926 to 1928 there at the United Municipal Theaters . From 1928 Heynicke was a freelance writer . In 1932 he went to Berlin with the artistic director Heinz Hille . After the seizure of power in 1933, he was one of the few authors of things games and then worked as a screenwriter for Ufa until 1939 (see list of works). By the end of the Second World War , he wrote several jolly, unimportant novels. In 1943 he retired to Merzhausen near Freiburg im Breisgau . In the last phase of his life Heynicke was severely visually impaired.
Kurt Heynicke's work includes novels , short stories , essays , poems , plays , scripts for feature films and television plays as well as radio plays . His poetry , with which Heynicke identified himself as a typical representative of the Expressionist movement, without sharing its radicalism, is considered to be of particular literary importance . In his poems, which are partly influenced by anthroposophical ideas, the author often expresses a pantheistic attitude towards life. - Heynicke had been the author of successful entertainment novels as well as folk plays in Alemannic dialect since the 1930s .
