Shortly after the birth, the mother moved with Buchner to Regensburg, where the grandparents on his father's side lived. He spent his youth in Welchenberg in Lower Bavaria near Bogen. From the age of four he received piano lessons from his mother, but had never been able to play from notes. In his youth, Buchner was at home in various boarding schools. During this time he taught himself to play the trumpet, and later he also learned to play guitar and saxophone himself. Recently he attended in Cham resident Joseph-von-Fraunhofer-Gymnasium , which he left not finish due to poor grades.

After basic military service , in which he held a leading position in the military music service , Hans-Jürgen Buchner opened a pottery in Straubing .

Due to the rapid success of his ceramics workshop, music for Buchner moved completely into the background. In the mid-1970s he regained interest in music, buying a Fender Rhodes , a Minimoog synthesizer , a tenor horn and a multi-track recorder to record his own songs. Around 1977 he met Kevin Coyne in Vienna , who influenced him.

From 1980 he and his wife gave occasional concerts in his spare time, mainly in pubs. During a concert he met Kevin Coyne by chance , who was fascinated by Buchner's own productions and put him on the Polydor record company . Since the record company was initially not impressed by Buchner's musical style, Buchner initially had to finance the production himself. As a result, he recorded a long-playing record called Haindling 1 in 1982 , so that music, which was cultivated as a hobby, suddenly became his new center of life. Buchner received the German Record Prize for his first work . Due to the success, the record company contacted him and asked him to go on tour. Buchner then placed an advertisement in the newspaper and founded the band Haindling in 1983 . The song Lang scho nimma g'sehn from the follow-up album Stilles Potpourri occupied top positions in the charts for weeks in 1984 . Shortly afterwards he was contacted by Herman van Veen , whereupon Buchner made the master tapes of several songs available to him. Herman van Veen had these master tapes remixed by Jurre Haanstra and sang them in again in Dutch, French, English and German. The cover version of Hilversum III of the song Lang scho nimma g'sehn took fifth place in the Dutch charts. The song is considered an evergreen in the Netherlands and Belgium.

In 1986 he took the stage free of charge at the Anti-WAAhnsinns Festival against the planned Wackersdorf reprocessing plant . Resistance to the expansion of the Danube for shipping is also important to him, he sees himself fundamentally as a nature conservationist.

In the meantime, Buchner and Haindling are firmly established in the German music business and have cult status in Bavaria . He worked as a film composer for Franz Xaver Bogner's television series Irgendwie und Sowieso , Zur Freiheit , Café Perjury and Der Kaiser von Schexing as well as for his television films Madame Bäurin and once living . In 1985 he wrote the film music for Xaver and his extraterrestrial friend , in 2003 for Jennerwein and in 2005 for the TV biography Margarete Steiff . He was also active as a film composer for Douglas Wolfsperger's films. a. 2001 for Bellaria - As long as we live! .

In 1977 he bought the more than 300-year-old tavern in the Haindling district of Geiselhöring , renovated it and made it suitable for his music, workshop and living needs. He ended his pottery work in the late 1990s.
