Biography

Pierre Franckh is the youngest son of the actress Ursula Franckh and the director, actor, and translator of French literature Hans Heinz Franckh. At the age of six, Franckh was already on stage with Theo Lingen. At the age of ten, he made his film debut in the feature film Das Haus in Montevideo (1963) by Helmut Käutner as one of Heinz Rühmann's children. In ''Pepe, der Paukerschreck'' (1969), he played a student spy infiltrated by his uncle and principal (Theo Lingen) at the Mommsen Gymnasium, but who eventually adapts. His breakthrough came at the age of 14 when he played a leading role in Der Kommissar. Since then, he has appeared in many feature films, frequently appeared on theater stages such as the Residenztheater in Munich, the Renaissance Theater in Berlin, and performed in Stuttgart and Frankfurt am Main.

On television, he appeared in over 350 television productions. In series such as Derrick or Der Alte, Diese Drombuschs, Rivalen der Rennbahn, etc., he took on character roles and comedic roles in numerous television plays.

From 1976 to 1978, he hosted ''Hit-Kwiss'', the first pop music quiz program for young people, with hits and stars from international hit parades, which ran successfully for over three years on ARD, a novelty in German television history.

In 1995, he played the stenographer in the national and international award-winning film Der Totmacher, a film directed by Romuald Karmakar that mainly dealt between three people, alongside Götz George and Jürgen Hentsch. This film is the most awarded in German cinema history, including the German Film Award, and was submitted as an official entry for the Academy Awards in 1996. In 2002, Costa-Gavras' film The Deputy, in which Franckh played the role of Pastor Wehr, screened in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival.

He debuted as a screenwriter and director in 2000 with the feature film ''Just the Beginning''. He is the author of the theater play ''Das ist mein Bett''.

His great-granduncle founded Franckh'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung in 1822 Friedrich Schiller's sister, Luise Dorothea Katharina Schiller, married Johann Gottlieb Franckh, (b. 1766; † 1836), a dean by profession, a great-granduncle of Pierre Franckh. Pierre Franckh's grandfather, Manfred Franckh, was a friend and patron of Count Zeppelin, and published his first books. Franckh's grandfather, Manfred Franckh, was a friend and patron of Count Zeppelin.

Pierre Franckh has been married to Michaela Merten since 1992 and lives in Munich. In 1993, a daughter was born to them.

Writer and Coach

Since 1996, Franckh has also been active as an author of advice books and coaches.

In September 2004, his advice book ''Glücksregeln für die Liebe'' was published by Koha-Verlag and made the bestseller list of Stern magazine. With a total circulation of over three million, Pierre Franckh is one of the most successful German authors in life advice. His books have been published in 21 countries. At times, three of his books were on the Focus bestseller lists at the same time. His series Der 6-Minuten-Coach became a SPIEGEL bestseller. Franckh lectures all over the world and gives seminars. As a coach, he is active in business and a trainer for kinesiologists and alternative practitioners.

In 2014, together with his wife Michaela Merten, he founded the online academy and community Happiness House, which offers online courses for personal development, happiness training, and meditation based on the findings of positive psychology.
