Anke Feuchtenberger was born in Berlin (GDR) in 1963. She studied graphic design at the art academy here from 1983 to 1988 and then worked as a freelancer. She designed posters and illustrations and began drawing comics. Until 2000, her works were published by Jochen Enterprises, then by MamiVerlag and Reprodukt.  She teaches illustration as a professor at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. Her work has become internationally recognised with numerous publications and exhibitions - her comics have been translated into French, English, Italian and Chinese, among others. In 2020, she was awarded the Max and Moritz Prize for outstanding lifetime achievement by the Comic Salon Erlangen. Reprodukt published "Somnambule" (2019), "Das Haus" (2020) and "Die Spaziergängerin" (2021), among others. Most recently, "Genossin Kuckuck", an autofictional picture story that Anke Feuchtenberger worked on for more than a decade, was published in 2023.
