Life

Born in Zurich in 1891, Wolfgang Hartmann returned to Switzerland in 1912 after studying German in Berlin and worked as a theater consultant until 1917. In 1920 he returned to Germany and from then on lived as a journalist and writer in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, then in Vienna, Berlin, Mittenwald and finally in Munich. In 1945 he returned to Switzerland, first settling in Montana and after a stay in Kitzbühel / Tyrol in 1952 as a theater critic in Lucerne from 1954 until his death.

His Swiss homeland and doctor novel Verena Calonder in 1939 was a bestseller success, which he could no longer build on in 1947 with the novel Regina Schulthess . Thereafter, outside of his professional activity, he turned to essays and radio plays, increasingly to poetry and drama, whereby several works remained unpublished or were not performed. His estate is in the Central and University Library in Lucerne.
