He studied jurisprudence in Marburg, Berlin and Munich and was a solicitor in Düsseldorf from 1919 till 1937. He became a full-time writer in 1937 when he moved to Berlin which he left in 1941 to move to Bavaria. He took up law again from 1945 till 1948. He died on 25 August 1955 in Rottach-Egern.

  • Die Feuerzangenbowle, 1933
  • Wenn wir alle Engel wären, 1936
  • Der Maulkorb, 1936
  • Der Gasmann, 1940
  • Die Hochzeitsreise, 1946
  • Die weisse Weste, 1946
gollark: I don't really agree. It is not practical to guess what directly applicable skills will be needed in the future. It should teach general skills like learning independently fast, mathematical modelling, useful writing, languages, and that sort of thing.
gollark: It's actually possible to learn things yourself.
gollark: CVs are maaaybe suitable for teaching since I don't think there's that much to it but you can probably learn faster with good feedback.
gollark: "How to get a job" is very complex, but that just means school would teach it very uselessly and/or vaguely and/or outdatedly.
gollark: Great, but they can probably find documentation on taxes somewhere when they need it, since I don't think it's very complex either.
