Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre was born as the youngest of four children of a pastor's family and grew up in Rotenburg an der Wümme . There he attended the Ratsgymnasium from 1987 to 1990 . He has been a writer since 1993. After graduating from the Max-Planck-Gymnasium in Göttingen in 1994 , he moved to Hamburg and began studying German , which he soon dropped out of. After various internships, u. a. at Norddeutscher Rundfunk and taz , followed by jobs as an editor for the German licensed edition of Rolling Stone magazine , as a product manager at the record label Motor Music and as the author of the Harald Schmidt Show . He also wrote as a freelancer for newspapers and magazines such as FAZ , Die Woche and Stern .

He achieved fame primarily with his debut novel solo album , published in 1998, and the 2003 film of the same name . Due to the success of this novel and his subsequent works, Stuckrad-Barre developed into one of the new German pop literary figures of the 1990s. This image was supported by effective media appearances, u. a. together with Christoph Schlingensief , and his own literature program on MTV Central with the title Reading Circle .

A few years later, Stuckrad-Barre publicly confessed to his alcohol and cocaine addiction and was the protagonist of Herlinde Koelbl's 2004 documentary Rausch und Ruhm . Here he let Koelbl film him trying to cope with depression and the physical consequences of withdrawal in his completely shabby apartment . This also applied to the stay in a special clinic and the first few weeks in a shared apartment for addicts. Koelbl received permission from Stuckrad-Barre to document his physical and mental decline in detail with the camera and to film the most private and intimate moments of this phase of life. According to his own statements, Stuckrad-Barre has been abstinent from alcohol since 2006 : “Alcohol was never a problem for me, it was the substances that are referred to as hard drugs, and in my brain these are obviously linked; One of them would, once asked in, tell the other where the key is, and they would quickly turn the booth for me together. "

His complaints against the Internet portal Thema1 (2000) and the satirical magazine Titanic (2001) attracted attention . The Internet portal had spread a toilet joke about Stuckrad-Barre; Titanic magazine had satirically alienated advertising with his likeness. In 2012 he responded to an article by the Berliner Kurier in which the "lousy" quality of the screenplay for Helmut Dietl's film Zettl, which Stuckrad-Barre was co-author of, was attributed to the late effects of Stuckrad-Barre's cocaine use ("brain damage"), with a warning from the tabloid.

After working in Hamburg, Cologne and Zurich (2003), Stuckrad-Barre has been living in Berlin again since 2006 . In spring 2005 he moderated the show Stuckrad bei den Schweizern for Swiss television , in which he satirically and humorously dealt with topics that preoccupied him as a German in Switzerland . He also met some Swiss celebrities who were supposed to help him with naturalization.

In 2006 he hosted the program Enzyklopädings every Tuesday on the youth broadcaster of the Hessischer Rundfunk You FM , where he was already active in 2004 . The aim of the program was to create their own “encyclopedia” with the audience, which should contain knowledge that “is really important”.

Since the beginning of 2008 he has worked exclusively for Axel Springer AG newspapers.

From 2010 to 2013, Stuckrad-Barre hosted the political entertainment program Stuckrad Late Night . The show was produced by Christian Ulmen and initially ran on ZDFneo , the second and third seasons, each with ten episodes, were streamed under the title Stuckrad-Barre , on Tele 5 and then continued on ulmen.tv .

In 2012, Axel Springer AG commissioned him to write an anniversary play about the publisher's founder on the occasion of Axel Springer's 100th birthday , which was to highlight Springer's qualities as a visionary, bon vivant and tycoon , with a special focus on the love story between Springer and his last Wife, the majority shareholder Friede Springer , her self-sacrificing care during the years of illness and the "happiness" that she brought him. At the ceremony, Springer's CEO Mathias Döpfner gave the play to the Springer widow, who was sitting in the front row.
