Tobias Siebert grew up in the idyllic village of Moosach-Altenburg near Munich. Even as a young boy, he noticed the funny aspects of the people in the village and turned them into amusing stories in his imagination as he wandered through the woods.

His observations of the absurdities of life culminated in his military service in the German army and awakened in him the urge to tell funny stories on film.

In 1983, Tobias Siebert chose to study communication sciences at the LMU in Munich, his mother's home town.

He quickly came into contact with the film industry, joined documentary filmmaker Gogol Lobmayr and made films with him about faraway countries such as Hawaii, California, Kanada and Alaska as a cameraman, assistant director and screenwriter.

As early as 1984, at the age of 21, he made his debut as a screenwriter for fictional Films through a simple newspaper advert "Producer seeks screenwriter for film comedy". The film "Schwabinger Girls" was shown in German cinemas in 1985, in the contemporary tradition of films such as "Eis am Stil".

His breakthrough in the television business as a professional screenwriter finally came in 1995 with the romantic comedy "München ruft", which has been broadcast many times on ARD and BR television.

This was followed by many years of successful screenwriting for feature TV films in the comedy, romantic comedy and dramedy genres until Constantin Television approached him in 2007, which turned into a ten-year collaboration.

Together with two colleagues, he created BR Television's first daily series and quickly took on overall responsibility for the series as head writer, leading it to its ongoing success with over 3000 episodes to date and becoming the broadcaster's signature production. After four years, he switched to dialogue writing in order to be able to write feature films again.

In 2017, Saxonia Media unexpectedly asked Tobias Siebert to write scripts for the ARD series "In aller Freundschaft - Die jungen Ärzte". This turned into a project that lasted until 2023, for which Tobias Siebert moved into a second residence in the Berlin office location. His father's home town.

Tobias is involved in 1,066 scripts in Writersrooms and has written 40 scripts on his own.
