Ingrid Noll (born September 29, 1935 in Shanghai ; married Ingrid Gullatz ) is a German writer . She is considered one of the most successful German crime thriller authors today. Her books have been translated into 27 languages.

Life

Ingrid Noll grew up with three siblings (two sisters and one brother) as the daughter of a wealthy German doctor in Nanjing . There she and her siblings were taught by their parents. In 1949 the family fled to Germany on the last ship from Nanjing. In Bad Godesberg , Noll attended a Catholic girls' school until 1954. In order to become a teacher, after graduating from high school, she studied German and art history at the University of Bonn without completing this degree. In 1959 she married the doctor Peter Gullatz, with whom she has three children; the film and theater composer Biber Gullatz is her son, the actor Kai Nollis a nephew. The film scholar Christine Noll Brinckmann is a younger sister.

Before her career as a writer, Ingrid Noll looked after her children and the household, worked in her husband's practice, looked after her mother, who was 106 years old, and began writing in the little remaining time. Her first novel, The Rooster Is Dead , was not written until 1991, when the children had left the house. It was an instant hit. Her novels focus on women of different ages who get rid of their husbands or lovers in unconventional ways.

Ingrid Noll lives with her husband in Weinheim . Many of her crime novels are set in the Rhine-Neckar area ( Mannheim and Heidelberg ).
