the fate of the Banat
Swabians and especially with
the history of German
theater in Romania.
Stefan Heinz was born 1913
in Kleinsanktpeter (Totina)
in the Banat. He attended
high school (Realgymnasium)
and die German Catholic
Teachers' College (Lehrerbildungsanstalt)
in Temeswar. From 1932 to
1952 (with interruptions due
to WWII) he worked as a
teacher in several
Banat-Swabian villages.
Under pseudonym Hans Kehrer,
he published poetry and
prose, including the beloved
stories in Banat-Swabian
dialect.
In 1953 he joins the
newly-created German State
Theatre of Temeswar. His
career as actor and
playwright will be closely
identified with that
theatre.
Since 1980 Kehrer lived in
Germany, where he continued
his public and artistic
endeavors, in the service of
his Banaters. In 2001 he
received the German Federal
Order of Merit, First Class
(Bundesverdienstkreuz I.
Klasse), for his merits in
the promotion of
Banat-German culture in his
old and his new homeland.
