Buchwald's parents were August Detlev Friis (von) Buchwald (1830–1906), owner of the estate Friisholt, and Johanne Marie Charlotte von Arenstorff (1847–1901), and he belonged to an old a noble family from Holstein. He had a career as a lawyer.
He represented Denmark at the 1906 Summer Olympics in Athens, participating in the unofficial football tournament, which Denmark won. He took part in the very first official match of the Danish national team at the 1908 Olympics in London, as Denmark won 9–0 against France B. He played all three Danish games at the tournament and played a crucial role in helping the team win the silver medal. Four years later, in the football tournament of the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Buchwald once again played all three games. In the final game, against Great Britain, Buchwald was injured in the 30th minute of the game, with Denmark trailing Great Britain 1–2. As the rules did not allow substitutions, Denmark finished the game with one man less, losing 2–4.
