Life

Dannenberg studied journalism and film studies in Berlin . There she passed the master’s examination with a thesis on memory metaphors. She worked as a radio reporter for ARD , as a lecturer at the Bauhaus University Weimar and as a freelance journalist for the Tagesspiegel , the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung and the Cicero, among others . She lives in Berlin. She chose her stage name in allusion to the Lüchow-Dannenberg district because her first novel is set in the local anti-nuclear movement and self-sufficiency scene.

In 2004 her first work was published, the novel The Pale Heart of the Revolution , in which she critically deals with the 1968 movement . She tells "a bad fairy tale about the German bourgeois 20th century, about the seductive power of totalitarian political religions, about the place of horror and redemption of the family, about the loss of faith and about art". In German literature, the book is the first critical examination of the 68ers from the perspective of their children. Regardless of the question of whether his statement is objectively valid, the book received a lot of attention and was often the subject of the relevant feature sections and television programs.

Her second novel, "Teufelsberg", was published in 2012. It deals with the philosophical question of the nature of reality and addresses the grievances in psychiatry, including the uncertainty of psychiatric diagnoses and the quality of medical treatment. "The worst students become psychiatrists," she said in an interview with Henryk M. Broder for the newspaper Die Welt . Herbert A. Gornik described the novel on Deutschlandradio Kultur as "a documentary soap from a fictional psychiatric clinic on a mountain of rubble in Berlin that is doomed. A shrill, exciting and deeply sad novel - but one that you absolutely have to read to the end like a thriller, the resolution of which only delivers the final punch. "

Sophie Dannenberg published in 2014 from January to October 2015, the Axis of Good and peculiarly free the article "Children as pension Lining: Visiting the zombie workshop" .
