Lea-Lina Oppermann (born April 1998 in Berlin ) is a German writer.

Life

Lea-Lina Oppermann grew up in Hennef (North Rhine-Westphalia). During her high school she attended a seminar for creative writing at the University of Bonn and was a member of the writing group there. Initially, Oppermann mainly wrote short stories and spoken texts for her short films. Together with a friend, she won the Heinz Sielmann Foundation's CAMäleon Youth Film Award in 2014 . In addition, she also devoted herself to acting, including in the musical The Chronicles of Narnia .

Since 2016 she has been studying the art of speaking at the State University for Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart.

On a false alarm in eleventh grade, she began writing her first novel , entitled What We Thought What We Did, published when she was 19 years old. Sylvia Schwab wrote in Deutschlandfunk Kultur : “Lea-Lina Oppermann realistically describes how a relatively homogeneous school class becomes perpetrators and opponents through justified fear of death. How secrets are revealed and relationships and lifelong dreams are destroyed, heroes become cowards and outsiders become courageous doers. ”The book is now read as school reading and has been performed several times. In 2019, the youth jury awarded it the Wi (e) derworte book prize of the Ulla Hahn House in Monheim.
