Rolf Hennequel, formerly Henkl, was a writer and publisher whose works, mainly classical in theme, were written using the pseudonym Albin Eiger (a fact he denied to all but the closest acquaintances) as well as his own name. Earlier writings, particularly scholarly ones, bear the name Henkl.
The Wattle Grove Press was a small, Australian private press and publisher, established in Tasmania, in 1958 by the Viennese-born linguist Rolf Hennequel. It produced approximately 22 publications, including Hennequel's own works and limited editions by other writers, until its closure in 1968 due to Hennequel's declining health.
