Alfred Schirokauer (1880 - 1934) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller, Drehbuchautor und Filmregisseur. Er verfasste Romanbiografien über Ferdinand Lassalle, Lord Byron, Napoleon und Lucretia Borgia sowie historische und Gegenwartsromane. Seit 1912 schrieb Schirokauer auch häufig Drehbücher. Aus dem Buch: "Assessor Hoff kam die Wilhelmstraße herauf und bog in die Linden ein. Jung, stolz und hochgewachsen ging er dahin. In seinem Gesicht strahlte ein verwegenes Siegeslächeln. Wirklich, ja, er war stolz beglückt und zukunftssicher. Er hatte zwar immer dunkel geahnt, er würde seinen Weg machen. Aber daß der Erfolg so bald kam! Daß man ihn beim ersten zaudernden Schritt anerkannte! Das war fast wie ein Reifen aller bunten Blütenträume. Als der erste Band seiner Geschichte des deutschen Strafrechts vor einigen Wochen erschien, war er von der wissenschaftlichen Kritik und einigen Tagesblättern sehr lobend begrüßt worden. Das hatte seine Reize und Werte für einen jungen Autor. Aber was bedeutete das dem heutigen Erfolg gegenüber! Heute, ja - das war eine staatliche Prämiierung, obrigkeitliche Patentierung seines Könnens und seiner Auserwähltheit."
