About me

I grew up in Neuwied am Rhein, where I also made High School. In Frankfurt I studied languages. My husband Werner Georg Backert was editor of the satirical magazine Pardon in Frankfurt. Gert von Paczensky brought him to his newly founded weekly "German Panorama" to Hamburg, where we lived henceforth.

spontaneoustwelve years, from May 1968, the founding of the journal month, to the end setting in August 1980, I worked "spontaneous" in the political-satirical monthly magazine, that my - in August 1986 deceased – Man Werner Georg Backert had lifted out of the baptism and appeared in the gondola-Verlag in Hamburg.

Broder known, gave the young and then unknown cartoonist Uli Stein major career move, because we were the first, who made known his cartoons to a broad readership.

I like music, rock music, Blues, Soul, Funk, Hard-Rock. Therefore, it makes me happy, my son Manuel became musicians. His first self-published CD called Kievview. He himself says, the SCORPIONS had inspired him, as they 1972 on the occasion of our annual spontaneous summer party with us gave a concert in the garden, only disturbed by the police, the five showed up for disturbing the peace and the game from eventually forbade.
