Max Gans was born in Linz, Austria on August 22, 1865 to Moritz Gans and his wife Wilhelmina (Mina), b. Steiner. On July 21, 1902, in České Budějovice, at the age of thirty-seven, he married Irma, then eighteen, born Klar, who saw the light of day on November 2, 1883 in Dolní Bukovsko, the court district of Veselí nad Lužnicí (in the Jewish registry Koloděj nad Lužnicí / here "Kalladei" / only "Bukovsko" and the district "Vessely" are written). Her father Ferdinand Klar, who was in Dolní Bukovsko and then in České Budějovice c.k. postmaster, was the son of a doctor in Kolodějice nad Lužnicí Leopold Klar and his wife b. Neumann from Koloděj. Irma's mother Franziska was the daughter of Bechyně merchant Samuel Lampl and Barbora, b. Lederer from Bechyně. The death notice from the Terezín ghetto, where Max Gans died of pneumonia and marasmus at 8, 10 a.m. on August 24, 1942 at 8, 10 a.m. Protectorate Budějovice is still mentioned as his home village, although the last address before the transport was Prague XVI, Na Václavce 50. In addition to his data, the Jewish cemetery in Gans' native Linz also contains the data of Irma Gans, b. Klar in the wrong form, however, in terms of date and place of birth (* 1882 Budweis), in terms of date and place of death, however, I must take as a coin (see Find and Grave website) the year 1945 and the ominous local name Auschwitz. Every song, even any human word or human name, would fail here.

Max Gans war von 1886 bis 1888 Unterlehrer an der Volksschule in Altenberg bei Linz und wechselte dann seine Stelle nach Budweis.

In Budweis war er neben seinem Beruf als Lehrer ein aktives, begeistertes und anerkanntes Mitglied des im Jahr 1884 dort gegründeten "Deutschen Böhmerwaldbundes"*, im Deutschen Turnverein und als Chor-Leiter der dem Bund zugehörigen Sängerbundesgruppe.
(*Siehe auf https://www.boehmerwaldbund.de/index.php/galerie/category/2-test.ht... und unter Absatz "Vereinsgeschichte" auf http://www.bwb-ooe.at/verein)

Belegt sind Max Gans' Aktivitäten für den Böhmerwaldbund durch zahlreiche Artikel in böhmischen und oberösterreichischen Zeitungen.

Er scheint jedoch auch als Dirigent des Budweiser Tempelchores auf:
