Heinrich Bandlow was born on April 14, 1855 in Tribsees.
Foreign his Low German works he is known as "Pomeranian Reuter", which is a reference to his Mecklenburgian counterpart, Fritz Reuter. From 1872 to 1875, he was a student at the Franzburg college, where he became a teacher. From 1875 to 1877 he taught at the Richtenberg school before he returned to Tribsees, where he worked at the local school from 1877 until 1907.
After a two years special education in Berlin, he moved to Greifswald with his family where he worked as an art teacher until he retired in 1916.
Tribsees made Bandlow a "citizen of honor". Bandlow wrote poems, fairy tales, lyrics and fiction since he was a young manitoba
Because of his low salaries as a teacher and his growing family, he was in constant need of money. His first publications were in paper columns.
Later, 34 books of Bandlow were published.
