He first worked for several years in his apprenticeship as a film graphic artist and later as a film copier. In 1928, at the age of 23, he took acting lessons with Paul Bildt and soon received engagements at various stages in Germany. In addition to the Berlin Volksbühne, he appeared in Stuttgart, Würzburg, Munich, and Hanover, among other places, until he returned to Berlin to the Schillertheater eleven years later. In 1940 he played his first film role in Friedrich Schiller – Triumph of Genies, but only a few more roles were to follow until the end of the war. At this time, Lukschy embodied the gallant lover and initially reached the height of his popularity in the revue film The woman of my dreams alongside Marika Rökk. Lukschy was on the Gottbegnadeten list of the Reich Ministry for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda in 1944. passport actor director Lukschy
