Hans Domizlaff

With his book publications Typische Denkfehler der Reklamekritik (1929) and Die Gewinnung des öffentlichen Vertrauens.

Hans Domizlaff first made a name for himself in Leipzig as a painter during his school years, encouraged by Fedor Flinzer and supported by Max Klinger.

Among other things, he designed trade fair booths and advertising posters, but mainly stage sets at the Städtisches Theater and the Leipzig Volkstheater.

As an artistic advisor to the printing company and packaging manufacturer Wezel & Naumann, he began to explore the still young field of advertising and its means of effect.

Among others, Max Schmeling[3] and Vice Admiral Alfred Begas sailed with him in 1929, and he also participated in regattas such as the North Sea Week with the Dirk III.

[5][6] According to his autobiography, there was also a meeting in 1936 with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, who claimed to be an expert on Domizlaff's writings.

Immediately after the end of the war, he was interrogated several times by the British military authorities and interned for six months.
