. The director, screenwriter and producer Hanna Henning was born as Johanna Julie Adelheid von Koblinski in Cannstatt. She belonged to the very first women who were active behind the camera. She began her career as a singer before she directed her first movie in 1911 with "Weil ich dich liebe" (11) with Ally Kay and Josef Roemer in the leading roles.
