About the author

Arthur-Heinz Lehmann took part in the Second World War as a soldier. From 1945, he lived with his wife Steffi Lehmann as a freelance writer in the Tyrolean village of Eiberg near Kufstein. Until 1955, he was also the owner of the Kufstein-based Schwingen publishing house. Lehmann died in a traffic accident in Bernau close to the Chiemsee lake while travelling to a film premiere.

Arthur-Heinz Lehmann was the author of novels, short stories and children's books. After publishing several Westerns under a pseudonym, he mainly wrote horse books from 1938 onwards. His most successful work was the novel "Hengst Maestoso Austria", published in 1939, which was made into a film by Hermann Kugelstadt in 1956. Three of Lehmann's books, including the volumes "Rauhbautz wird Soldat" (1940) and "Rauhbautz hilft mit siegen" (1941), in which the wartime experiences of an army horse are described, were on the list of literature to be discarded in the GDR from 1953.
