Georg Engel

Georg Julius Leopold Engel (born 22 October 1866 in Greifswald; died 19 October 1931 in Berlin[1]), also known as Johannes Jörgensen,[2] was a German writer, dramatist and literary critic.

[1] In his novel Hann Klüth, der Philosoph (1905) and in his collection of novellas Die Leute von Moorluke (1910), set in Greifswald and surrounds, he portrayed lively and life-affirming north German characters.

Engel was the President of the Imperial Union of German Literatur (Reichsverband des deutschen Schrifttums).

During the National Socialist period, his work was considered undesirable as Engel was non-Aryan by the state's definition.

Some of Engel's books were banned, removed from libraries and burnt.
