Tristan Göbel

2002-08-01 · Berlin, Germany

Tristan Göbel (born August 2002) is a German actor and former child actor. Like his older siblings Ansgar and Maxine—as well as his younger sister Gwendolyn—Tristan Göbel was a child actor. The siblings live with their parents on a farm on the outskirts of Berlin, in the state of Brandenburg. Following a small debut role in 2006 in *Reine Formsache*—in which his sister Maxine played a more substantial part—he appeared alongside his three siblings in Philipp Stölzl’s 2010 film *Goethe!*, playing one of the younger siblings of Charlotte Buff, the object of Goethe’s affection. That same year, he landed his first major role in Zarah Ziadi’s short film *Vergessen*, in which he portrayed the young alter ego of an adult abuse survivor. In 2013, his first major cinematic role followed in Christian Schwochow’s *Westen* (West). In this film, he plays the son of a female emigrant from the GDR who, like his mother, struggles to find her footing in the West. Together with Jördis Triebel and Alexander Scheer, he was honored for this performance in 2014 at the Festival of German Film, receiving a "Special Jury Award for an Acting Ensemble" within the *Filmkunstpreis* (Film Art Prize) category. In André Erkau’s 2015 children’s film *Winnetous Sohn*, Göbel portrayed Morten, the protagonist’s best friend. In Fatih Akin’s film adaptation of Wolfgang Herrndorf’s bestselling novel *Tschick*, he played Maik—one of the two lead roles and simultaneously the story’s first-person narrator. In 2017, he played a drug-dealing student at the Goethe-Gesamtschule in Bora Dagtekin’s film *Fack ju Göhte 3*. Source: Wikipedia
