life and work

Buchegger grew up in Bayreuth and came to Tübingen as a student of sports and political science . There he has been working as a cartoonist for the Schwäbisches Tagblatt since 1973 and for Südwestfunk since 1976 .

To date, he has penned over 10,000 drawings, mainly on subjects from everyday life in Tübingen, but also occasionally on "great politics". They are widely published in the Schwäbisches Tagblatt as well as in numerous books. Selections of his drawings were shown in numerous exhibitions, for example in “Typisch Tübingen” in the Tübingen City Museum in the Kornhaus from February 16 to March 30, 2008 and “Drawing: Buchegger” from June 15 to July 3, 2009 in the Volksbank-Haus in Tübingen . Buchegger created the character of the Tübingen detective Philipp B. Sucher, for whom he, partly in collaboration with Wolfgang Alber , wrote several comic stories (“ The Dead in the Lake ”, “ Speculators Don't Shoot ”, “ Danger is a Business ”, “ The short farewell ”and“ The little brother ”), which appeared in series in the Schwäbisches Tagblatt. The stories each refer to Tübingen's local color. Buchegger also created the appropriate illustrations for the newspaper college "Heimat heute", which was implemented in 1980 by the German Institute for Distance Learning at the University of Tübingen and printed in numerous West German newspapers.
