Career

Maximilian Brückner graduated from the Otto Falckenberg School in Munich,[1][3] and received his first engagement at the Munich Volkstheater.[1] He was one of the students selected in 2001 by theater director Christian Stückl for the summer academy for Baierisches Volksschauspiel.

In a new production Brückner took over the role of Boanlkramer in Kurt Wilhelm's play The Brandner Kaspar and eternal life.[4] Aged 23, he took over the leading role from veteran actor Toni Berger,[5][6] (1921-2005) who had embodied this in the original staging more than 1000 times. He describes his role as a "blend of Pumuckl, Marilyn Manson and Gollum of Lord of the Rings. The Boanlkramer is not stupid. He's like a little kid given power over an army".

Since 2003, Brückner has also appeared in numerous film and television productions. In 2004, he played 'the Mammon' in Everyman at the Salzburg Festival. Then in October 2006, he worked together with Gregor Weber (as Stephan Deininger) on Tatort as crime scene investigator Franz Kappl, broadcast on Saarland Radio.[7] After the filming of the seventh episode (broadcast in January 2012),[8] the contracts with the actor was not renewed. He did not like his overambitious character.[9] In 2012, Brückner had a small role as a German officer in Steven Spielberg's war epic War Horse.[10]

He has made numerous stage appearances in the theatre including at Münchner Volkstheater since 2002,[11] with Die Räuber (Karl Moor), Der Räuber Kneißl (as Mathias Kneißl, based on Mathias Kneißl's life),[7] Der Brandner Kaspar und das ewig' Leben (Boandlkramer), Baumeister Solness (by Ibsen) in 2017,[12] and Peer Gynt (as Peer), all directed by Christian Stückl.[3] He made his directorial debut, also at the Münchner Volkstheater,[7] in 2012 with Ludwig Thoma's play Magdalena, with his brother Florian Brückner in the lead.[13]

The family renovated the farmhouse in 2011, with Maximilian doing a lot of plastering.[9] He has been married to Magdalena Staudacher since 2013,[14] they have one child.[15] He dances Schuhplattler and plays the tuba in a local brass band with his brothers.[3] His brothers are Florian Brückner, Dominic Brückner and Franz Xaver Brückner and his sisters are Susanne Brückner and Isabella Brückner are all actors.[3] With Florian, he played in the film Räuber Kneißl and then in Was weg is, is weg ('What's gone, is gone'), Christian Lerch's directorial debut shot in 2011, with Florian and Franz Xaver. As three brothers Paul, Lukas and Hansi.[16]

Politically, he is a supporter of the Christian Social Union of Bavaria. In March 2008, Maximilian Brückner was elected at the local elections in Bavaria for the CSU municipal council in his hometown of Riedering, in the district of Rosenheim. However, due to his change of residence, he has returned this mandate.[17]
