Hans Werner Richter (12 November 1908 – 23 March 1993) was a German writer.

Born the son of a fisherman in Neu Sallenthin on the island of Usedom, Richter worked first in a bookshop in Swinemünde (now Świnoujście in Poland) and later moved to Berlin.[1]

He fought in World War II and was taken prisoner in 1943. After the war, he established himself as a writer and co-editor of the periodical Der Ruf.[1]

Richter is little known for his own works but found worldwide celebrity and acknowledgment as the founder, moving spirit and "grey eminence" of the Group 47, the most important literary association of the German Federal Republic of the post-war period.[2]

Richter died in Munich, aged 84.
