Marcus Heinrich Rosenmüller (born July 21, 1973 in Tegernsee ; also called Marcus Hausham Rosenmüller ) is a German director and screenwriter . He is known for his Singspiel productions on the Nockherberg and modern Bavarian homeland films such as Who dies earlier is dead longer .

Life

Rosenmüller, who came from a working-class family, grew up in the Upper Bavarian community of Hausham . In neighboring Miesbach he attended high school until 1993 . In Hausham, Rosenmüller's talent for self-written poems and songs was already evident in his youth . He was also a member of the Hausham municipal council for the SPD until 2008 .

He published his first films as "Marcus Rosenmüller". In order to better distinguish it from Marcus O. Rosenmüller , who works as director under the same name , both decided after a conversation to appear with an additional initial. The "H", which actually stands for "Heinrich", became the more memorable "Marcus Hausham Rosenmüller" in 2006 due to an idea by producer Andreas Richter in the opening credits of the film Who dies earlier is longer dead .

Marcus H. Rosenmüller studied from 1995 to 2003 at the University of Television and Film Munich (HFF Munich). He was already able to draw attention to himself with his studies.

From January 2007 the comedy Schwere Jungs was shown in cinemas with over 550,000 visitors. In the same year Beste Zeit followed , the first part of a trilogy financed by Bayerischer Rundfunk , which takes place in the harsh landscape around Dachau .
