Verena Altenberger

Verena Altenberger grew up in the Austrian state of Salzburg in Dorfgastein, Hallein and Oberalm and spent part of her youth at Schloss Winkl, a former residence of nobility, where her mother was the principal of the Winklhof agricultural school. Aged 18, Altenberger went to Vienna to study acting, and initially auditioned at the Max Reinhardt Seminar, but was not accepted. Consequently, she began to pursue a bachelor's degree in Mass Media and Communication Science at the University of Vienna, from which she successfully graduated. As of September 2011, she studied drama at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna and successfully graduated in June 2015.
