Max Pallenberg (born 18 December 1877 in Vienna as Max Pollack – 26 June 1934 in Karlovy Vary) was an Austrian singer, actor and comedian.
Although Pallenberg's career started in 1904 it wasn't until 1909 that he joined Theater an der Wien, and in 1911 Vienna's Volkstheater.
However, it was at Berlin's Deutsches Theater where he left a lasting mark on German theatrical practice.
Pallenberg's stellar role was in the Erwin Piscator's dramatic adaptation of Jaroslav Hašek's novel The Good Soldier Schweik.
A year later he died in an airplane crash near Karlovy Vary in today's Czech Republic.
