π΅ The Musician Max Rieger
Max Rieger, known as MAXR, is a fictional character who blurs the lines between fiction and reality. His songs are like emotional maps of an invented but incredibly real-seeming personality, guiding through the highs and lows of life.
With his concept album "Alles durcheinander" (2025), this literary figure proves that cross-media art can be more than entertainment β it can heal, inspire and encourage. Each track tells a story from Max Rieger's fictional life that feels as authentic as if it were real.
π The Cross-Media Art Figure
Max Rieger is a fascinating literary creation who comes to life in four German novels: "Max und der Traum von FuΓball", "Max und das Spiel des Lebens", "Max und die andere Seite" and "Max und das Geheimnis von Gelsenkirchen". This artistic figure then makes the leap into reality through music, podcasts and various media.
The art concept is expanding internationally: Three books are already available in English β "Playing for the Dream: Max's Story", "Playing the Big Game: Max's Story" and "The Other Side: Max's Story". This cross-media narrative shows how a fictional character can develop its own "reality" through authentic storytelling.
π« The "Real" Fictional Character
Max Rieger is the perfect example of how a fictional character can appear so real through authentic cross-media presence that fans develop a genuine emotional connection.

Through this innovative art form, Max's mission comes alive: reminding people that they are not alone β even if this message comes from a fictional character. His "personality" becomes a lighthouse for all who search for light in dark times.
