    Little is known about the German author Jakob Haringer, born Johann Franz Albert (1898-1948), who led a restless life.

In the 1920s, he started living as a vagrant, as he was wanted by the police, first for a customs offence and later for failure to register with the authorities and blasphemy. In 1929 and 1931, Haringer was a patient of several mental institutions.
