Life

Rudolf Haas was the son of a judge . Rudolf Haas grew up in Weseritz near Mies and from 1884 attended the elementary school in Aussig and then the grammar school in Pilsen . In 1890 he moved to a high school in Eger . From this school he was in 1896 expelled ; therefore, in the same year, he passed the matriculation examination as an external student at the grammar school in Mies. He then studied law at the Karl-Ferdinand University in Prague , and graduated in 1901 with the promotion of Dr. jur. from. During his Prague years he was significantly influenced by the Prague author Friedrich Adler and the Germanist August Sauer .

From 1902 Rudolf Haas worked for the State Railway Company in Vienna, from 1912 to 1925 for the State Railway Directorate in Villach / Carinthia , interrupted by his participation in the First World War . After his voluntary retirement, Rudolf Haas lived as a freelance writer in Villach.

On June 23, 1937 Rudolf Haas was made an honorary citizen of the city of Villach.

Rudolf Haas was the author of novels and short stories. Both his native Egerland and his second home, Carinthia, form the background of many of his works. His student novels about the character of "Matthias Triebl" were particularly successful . Haas approached National Socialism since the 1920s ; his novel "Mother Berta", published in 1940 by the party's Eher Verlag , is an example of the blood-and-soil literature promoted by the Nazi rulers and was distributed in large numbers.
