Life

Peinkofer was the tenth and last child of the blacksmith Josef Peinkofer and his wife Maria geb. Moosbauer. Peinkofer attended the teachers' seminar in Straubing until 1910 and after the final examination became an assistant teacher in Johanniskirchen and in 1914 school administrator in Kirchdorf near Abensberg . He then did military service in the First World War. From 1918 to 1923 he was a teacher in Greising near Deggendorf and from 1923 to 1928 headmaster in Niederalteich . Then he quit school and from then on lived as a freelance writer and editor of the Grafenauer Anzeiger newspaper . From 1924 until the ban in 1936 he was editor of the Passau newspaper supplement “Heimatglocken”.

The first publications on local history appeared before 1910. His play The Magic Castle on Reschenstein was premiered on July 13, 1921 in the Stadttheater Passau and broadcast in 1934 as a radio play on the Reichsender München. In 1925 his Waldler play by Saint Nicholas was performed in Niederalteich. Numerous smaller and larger publications made him widely known. Most of them were stories or poems and local history studies. Peinkofer wrote only one novel, Das Pandurenstüberl , which is set in the Bavarian Forest around 1900. In 1951 he became an honorary citizen of Tittling.

From 1942 Max Peinkofer was married to Maria Freundorfer, the sister of the Augsburg Bishop Joseph Freundorfer , who died in 1949. He is buried in bishop corn.
