He worked equally happily as a jazz pianist, regularly collaborating with the similarly giftedPeter Igelhoff . He directed the Deutsche Tanz-und-Unterhaltungsorchester (German Dance and Light Music Orchestra). After the war, he moved toWest Germany and worked in Cologne.Haentzchel's most famous film score, for the wartime extravaganza "Münchhausen" (1943) recalls his mentor Theo Mackeben. The score is flooded with romantic melody and effective scoring.
