Anke Feuchtenberger

Anke Feuchtenberger, born in 1963 in East Berlin, is a German artist and cartoonist known for her deeply personal, often surreal visual narratives. She studied at the Kunsthochschule Berlin before establishing herself as a distinctive voice in European comics. Her signature work includes *Die Hure H.*, *Das Haus*, *Der Spalt*, and *Die Biographie der Frau Trockenthal*, all of which showcase her expressionistic linework and psychological intensity. Since 1997, she has held a professorship for drawing at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, shaping a new generation of artists. A mother and grandmother, she lives and works between Hamburg and Vorpommern. Her catalog spans 22 credited issues from 1995 to 2024, where she served as artist, colorist, inker, letterer, and writer. Feuchtenberger’s work has earned her a reputation as a key figure in alternative German comics, though specific major awards are not documented in the available source. Her legacy lies in her unflinching exploration of identity, memory, and the female body, rendered with a raw, poetic touch that continues to influence contemporary graphic storytelling.
