Horst Bosetzky wrote an obituary: "A true Berlin he was, his father was a movie-director and actor. I have always seen as an actor: Hans, tall and charismatic, in stature as the broadcast ago a bear of man, a like Emil Jannings, Curd Jürgens, Hans Albers or Heinrich George. Whom he knew well. Also to Heinrich Zille, he reminded me. In addition to which he is lying on the Stahnsdorfer cemetery.“[5]
