Having worked as a dramatist in Brandenburg and Berlin, she became a freelance writer in 1975 and in, 1984, left the GDR for Strasbourg, where she currently lives with her family. Her works include Der Schneider aus Ulm (1981), Eine Liebe aus Nichts (1991), Damals, dann und danach (1999) and, most recently, Chronik meiner Straße (2015). Among the prestigious literary prizes she has been awarded are the Ehrengabe der Deutschen Schillerstiftung (1996), the Kleist Prize (2000), and the Solothurner Literaturpreis (2004).
