Life and career[edit]

Born in Leipzig, Stübner already participated as a child in the MDR Children's Choir [de] in Leipzig (1958–1962) and in 1961 in the children's theatre of the Theater der Jungen Welt [de]. From 1965 to 1969, he trained at the Deutsche Hochschule für Filmkunst Potsdam-Babelsberg.

He played his first roles in the studio of the Hans Otto Theater Potsdam under Peter Kupke [de] and then worked at the Theater Magdeburg until 1974 and in parallel at the Puppentheater. From 1974 to 1976 he was engaged at the Schauspielhaus Karl-Marx-Stadt. There he gave acting classes at the Studio Karl-Marx-Stadt. From 1976 to 2014 he worked at Schauspiel Leipzig [de] and gave acting classes at the Theaterhochschule Leipzig. In 2017–2020 he received a guest performance contract at the Schauspielhaus Leipzig. He has also appeared in numerous radio dramas.

After 1989, he wrote and directed in collaboration with dancer Werner Stiefel for the Gewandhaus Leipzig and the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig plays and fairy tales for children, for which he also built the puppets – the plays Hansel and Gretel, Tretesel, Streitesel, Hinter der Dornenhecke, Der Fischer und seine Frau.[6]
