Hans Hömberg (14 December 1903 – 4 July 1982) was a German playwright, journalist, novelist and screenwriter. Hömberg worked occasionally on feature film scripts, and supplied the idea for Alexis Granowsky's 1931 comedy film The Trunks of Mr. O.F. (1931).[1] Hömberg enjoyed a successful stage career, his biggest hit being (1940) although he faced censorship issues with some of his works.
