Background[]

Max von Trenk is mentioned posthumously in the original Frank Wedekind play. Hänschen Rilow was with him on his deathbed until his death, skipping school to do so. It is also said that Hänschen was the one who informed the school of Max's death. It is unknown whether their relationship extended beyond friendship.

Fun Facts[]

  • He died before the events of the play, and is not in the musical.
  • We are never given any clear information about him as a person other than his name, and the fact that he died of the "brain fever."
