Peter Henisch was born in Vienna a year and a half before the end of World War II ; his father Walter was a very valued photographic war correspondent for the Wehrmacht at the time . After 1945 his father worked for social democratic media.

Peter Henisch made his first literary attempts after graduating from high school while doing a traineeship at the Wiener Arbeiter-Zeitung (AZ), the central organ of the SPÖ . In the following course of studies he took German studies , philosophy , history and psychology . A doctoral project on Ernst Bloch remained unfinished. 1966/1967 he was local editor for AZ.
