Katja Lange-Müller (born 13 February 1951) is a German writer living in Berlin.[1] Her works include several short stories and novellas, radio dramas, and dramatic works.
The daughter of Inge Lange, an East German party functionary, Katja Lange-Müller was born in Berlin-Lichtenberg.[2][3] She was expelled from school at the age of 17 for "unsocialist" behavior.[2] From an early age, she and her circle of friends were carefully watched by the Stasi.[4] Prevented from attending college, she first learned to be a typesetter, and later worked as a nurse in a psychiatric clinic.[4] At the age of 28, she was accepted to the "Johannes R. Becher" Literature Institute in Leipzig, marking the beginning of her career as a writer.[5][6]
