Marcus Schütz

Schütz is a Berlin-based author whose life is as multifaceted as his writing. From the depths of the ocean to the high-tech labs of global metropolises, his diverse experiences as a scientist, therapist, and adventurer flow directly into his literary work.

Fiction & Urban Fantasy

Schütz gained widespread recognition with his acclaimed trilogy "Meilenweit – Ein fantastisches Abenteuer" (Miles Away – A Fantastic Adventure). This cinematic blend of urban fantasy and historical mystery follows a high-stakes search for the Knights Templar's treasure hidden beneath Berlin-Tempelhof. The series is celebrated as a complex, genre-bending "all-ager" that masterfully keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

His 2026 release, "Dr. Faust im Brutschrank" (Dr. Faust in the Incubator), is a provocative and linguistically powerful monologue. It explores the human condition—from the Berlin techno scene to African initiation rites—asking the timeless questions of knowledge, morality, and desire.

Non-Fiction & Professional Insights

With a PhD in Biology, Schütz has conducted field research in the jungles of Panama and laboratories from Berkeley to Sydney. This scientific background provides the grounded reality found in his more investigative works, such as his biography of the Romanov porcelain master Leonhard Schaufelberger.

In a lighter vein, Schütz draws on twelve years of experience as a manual therapist at the world-famous Friedrichstadt-Palast in Berlin. In "unGlaubliche Patienten" (unBelievable Patients), he shares witty and thoughtful stories from the treatment table with his signature humor.

The Man Behind the Stories

When he is not writing, Schütz is a man of action: a trained diver, passionate motorcyclist, and drone pilot. His international lifestyle and scientific curiosity remain the primary inspirations for his evocative texts and visual storytelling.

His Motto as a Berlin Ambassador:

"Be Occident, be Orient, be Berlin."
