Born in Tarnowskie Góry in Upper Silesia, Max started to play football in the youth of Rodło Górniki Bytom.[1] Moving to Hansa Rostock at the age of 35, Max contributed to the former East Germany club's comfortable league position, as he netted 20 goals and ranked third in the goal charts. Max retired at the end of the season with a total of 396 matches, with 126 first division goals.[2]

On 17 April 2002, Max earned his only appearance for Germany, coming on as a substitute during the 84th minute during a 1–0 friendly loss in the Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion (today MHPArena) in Stuttgart against Argentina.[1] He was subsequently named on stand-by for the 2002 FIFA World Cup.[3]

His son, Philipp, is also a footballer.[4]
