Life

Krassnitzer grew up in Grödig, in the Flachgau district in Salzburg state, Austria. His father was a locksmith, while his mother worked in a candy factory. After graduating from the HTL in Eisenstadt, he was trained as a forwarding agent.

Krassnitzer was trained as an actor at the Elisabethbühne in Salzburg, where he was employed for four years upon the completion of his studies. After that he played at the Schauspielhaus Graz in Graz, the Wiener Volkstheater in Vienna and the Saarland State Theatre in Saarbrücken.

Since 1995, Krassnitzer has acted mainly in television series (Der Bergdoktor, Der Winzerkönig, Tatort). He has been playing the role of the investigator Moritz Eisner in the Tatort series for the ORF since 1999, partly alone, and partly with changing colleagues. Since his 24th case, he is now working with Bibi Fellner, played by Adele Neuhauser.

He appeared as a co-moderator alongside Peter Rapp at the Licht ins Dunkel Gala in 1998. In summer 1999, Krassnitzer presented the film series Wunderland as a personal love letter to Austria, in which he presented his favorite music and his favorite places.

Krassnitzer is committed to Hilfswerk Austria. He is co-owner of the company Blinklicht, a production company for mobile TV, which he founded in Vienna with two childhood friends.

Since 7 July 2009, he is married to German actress Ann-Kathrin Kramer, with whom he previously was romantically involved for more than nine years.[1] He currently lives in Wuppertal and has a second home in the Tirol region (Mieming).

Harald Krassnitzer is a social democrat and regularly supports the Social Democratic Party of Austria.[2]
