Ulrich Drüner (born 1943 in Thann, Haut-Rhin) is a German musicologist and orchestra musician.
Drüner studied music and musicology from 1963 to 1969.
After his beginnings with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, he was a viola player in the orchestra of the Stuttgart State Opera.
In addition to this career, Drüner founded a music antiquarian bookshop in 1983 and completed his doctorate on Richard Wagner in 1987.
The critical examination of this composer, especially from a philosophical and ideological point of view, remained the focus of Drüner's scientific and literary activities in the following decades.
