Hans Müller-Einigen

Hans Müller(-Einigen) (born 25 October 1882 in Brünn, Austria-Hungary; died 8 March 1950 in Einigen) was a German language writer, author of screenplays and director. As his proper name Hans Müller was quite common, he added the Swiss village of Einigen to it.

He is known for his screenplay for The White Horse Inn (Im weißen Rößl, 1930), written together with Robert Gilbert and Erik Charell, set to music by Ralph Benatzky. Earlier works were the Libretto for Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Violanta (1916) and Das Wunder der Heliane (1927), basing on Hans Kaltneker works.

Since 1930 he lived in Einigen, spending some time also in Hollywood.

His brother was the author and critic Ernst Lothar (actually Ernst Lothar Müller).

Hans Müller was frequently attacked by Karl Kraus, in Die letzten Tage der Menschheit (The last day of mankind) and in Die Fackel
