Hans Hermann (* August 17, 1870 in Leipzig; † May 18, 1931 in Berlin) was a German composer, primarily committed to song compositions, double bassist and pedagogue.
Hans Hermann studied under Wilhelm Rust, Edmund Kretschmer, and Heinrich von Herzogenberg and served as a double bassist in various orchestras in Germany from 1888 to 1893. From 1901 to 1907 he was a teacher at the Berlin Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory. Subsequently, he lived as a freelance composer in Dresden and from 1927 again in Berlin. He created mainly songs and chamber music which were sung by important interpreters of his time such as Lilian Sanderson, Lilli Lehmann or Karl Mayer.
The musicologist Hermann Kretzschmar characterized the nature of his compositions as follows: "Hans Hermann's value lies in his talent for design, for cohesive leadership of large broad forms, for clear and imposing grouping, as well as in his own mixture of gaiety, cheerfulness with great and passionate feeling."
He found his final resting place after reburial in the ''Südwestkirchhof Stahnsdorf''.
