His younger brother Henning Prufer has represented Germany in athletics, and won silver in discus throw at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Eugene, OR, United States of America. (SportsDeskOnline, 27 Jul 2021; leichtathletik.de, 15 May 2021; worldathletics.org, 16 Jul 2021)

In 2020 he underwent surgery on his wrist due an inflammation issue. (leichtathletik.de, 01 Dec 2020)

He began training in throwing events more seriously when he entered a sports school in Neubrandenburg, Germany. (leichtathletik.de, 15 May 2021)

He originally followed his brother Henning into football before they both switched to athletics. After trying a number of athletics disciplines, he began focusing on throwing events due to issues with his knees and Achilles tendons. "My brother and I were very active children. We started early with athletics and football. Over time, it became more and more athletics and less football. As a result of my growth, I had problems with my knees and Achilles tendons, so I couldn't sprint or jump. That's why I threw more, which went well and was fun." (leichtathletik.de, 15 May 2021)
