Jördis Triebel

Triebel grew up the second oldest of four sisters in the Prenzlauer Berg locality of Berlin. Through her mother, who before the fall of the Berlin Wall was a props mistress at the "Theater der Freundschaft" (English: Theater of Friendship, today known as the Theater an der Parkaue), she was exposed to the world of theatre early on, sometimes being able to sit in on rehearsals.
