In 1947 Schrobsdorff left her Bulgarian exile. She returned to Germany with her husband, Edward S. Psurny, an American officer whom she had married in Bulgaria . A few years in Munich followed , but she kept living in Jerusalem in the sixties and seventies , where she met the French filmmaker Claude Lanzmann (1925–2018). After marrying Lanzmann in Jerusalem in 1974, she went to Paris with him , where she lived for many years. During this time she met Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir . In 1983 the author moved to Jerusalem. There she lived with her cats in a single house on the hill of Abu Tor on the Green Line near the old town . Because she could no longer endure the political situation in Israel, she returned to Germany in 2006. She moved into an apartment in Berlin-Schmargendorf , near Lake Halensee and Grunewald , not far from her parents' house, where she lived until her death.

Schrobsdorff's book Die Herren (1961) were older short stories that she put together into a novel on the recommendation of Johannes Mario Simmel . It caused a scandal because of lascivious descriptions and made the author known. In March 2018, Die Herren, translated from German into Spanish under the title Hombres, was published by errata naturae in Madrid . The book You are not like other mothers was translated into Spanish in March 2016 under the title Tú no eres como otras madres by the publisher errata naturae.

In Bulgaria she received the Rose Order.
