Maria Furtwängler-Burda is a daughter of architect Bernhard Furtwängler and actress Kathrin Ackermann, great-niece and step-granddaughter of conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler, and granddaughter of politician Katharina von Kardorff-Oheimb. She has two older brothers, David and Felix. She was given her first movie role, for which she earned a bike, at the age of seven in Zum Abschied Chrysanthemen, produced by her uncle Florian Furtwängler. Her mother taught her acting and she later took acting classes in Germany and other countries.
After leaving secondary school, Maria Furtwängler-Burda studied medicine at the University of Montpellier, France, and graduated from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany. Afterwards she trained and worked as a medical doctor.
In addition to her native German, she is fluent in French, English, and Italian.
On 8 November 1991 Maria married billionaire art historian and publisher Hubert Burda (born 1940), the youngest son of publisher Aenne Burda and CEO of Hubert Burda Media, an international media group, which publishes more than 180 magazine titles, including many fashion magazines. They have two children, Jakob (born 1990) and Elisabeth (born 1992).
In the mid-1990s Furtwängler decided to pursue her television career. For more nearly twenty years she has been acting in leading German television series and productions such as the Tatort series, which she has been particularly successful as a Hanover-based police detective Charlotte Lindholm since 2002, the successful television movies Die Flucht, and Die Schicksalsjahre and her currently published cinema production The weather inside – Das Wetter in geschlossenen Räumen.
Most of her movies received the highest ratings and reached an audience of more than 10 Million German viewers, especially the Tatort-productions. For her work in Tatort and Die Flucht she was honored with Germany’s most important award in the field of acting. With the movie The weather inside she was honored with the award for best actress at the 2morrow festival in Moscow and is already nominated in the preselection of Deutscher Filmpreis (German film price).
