Brückner's 1894 painting for the final scene of Götterdämmerung
Memorial in Coburg

Heinrich Maximilian Brückner (14 March 1836 – 2 May 1919) was a German artist and set designer.

He was born in Coburg in 1836, the son of Heinrich Brückner (1805–1892), who was the theatre painter at the Hoftheater (Court Theatre) in Coburg.[1]

In 1870, with his younger brother Gotthold Brückner (1844–1892), he founded the Brückner Brothers Studio for Scenic Stage Design, in Coburg.[1] They created stage sets at theatres across Germany for 40 years, most significantly at Richard Wagner's Bayreuth Festival, including the original 1876 production of Der Ring des Nibelungen.[1]
