English: Heinz-Günther Knolle (born April 16, 1912 in Bischofshagen 337 (Gohfeld, now: Löhne); † October 26, 1999 in Bielefeld), born as Heinz-Günter Wilhelm Knolle, was a German graduated agronomist. From April 30, 1925 to March 17, 1932, he attended the progressive boarding school School by the sea on the island of Juist. With his classmate, the Austrian alpinist Ulrich "Uli" Sild (1911–1937) from Vienna and accompanied by Grete Dispeker (1906–1999) from Egern he in September 1929 took part in an annual trip to the Dolomites to climb and ski. This trip was the trigger for Grete's first literary work, which she created in 1932 and was only published posthumously in 1999. In 1930 Knolle met his teacher Walter Jockisch on Juist who since his childhood was befriended with Edgar Weil and his brother Hans Joseph Weil (1906–1969), their grand cousin Grete Dispeker and her friend Doris von Schönthan who herself was befriended with Erika Mann and Klaus Mann so subsequently they all belonged to the Mann sibling's environment. Knolle in 1932 moved to Berlin to share a flat with Jockisch. Knolle studied at Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin, at Martin Luther University in Halle and at Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms University in Bonn, until he successfully passed the state exam in Bonn in 1938.
