Franziska began writing for theater at the age of 14 as a scholarship holder of the ZEIT-Stiftung at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg. Today she is a playwright and librettist.

Born in Hamburg in 1991, she lives and works in Berlin now. Here she studied Theaterstudies, Journalism & Communication (Bachelor of Arts) and Szenisches Schreiben at the University of the Arts Berlin (UdK). In 2017 she received the Kleist-Förderpreis für junge Dramatikerinnen und Dramatiker for her play TOD FÜR EINS ACHTZIG GELD (first premiere: at Ruhrfestspiele, by Schauspiel Hannover). For her libretto PROTHESEN DER AUTONOMIE – a sci-fi opera – she won the Berlin Opernpreis in 2018, together with Zsófia Geréb and Thierry Tidrow.

She was the German delegate at the International Young Playwrights Festival of Interplay Europe in Izmir and a scholarship holder at the Centre National des Ecritures du Spectacles La Chartreuse, Avignon.

The experimental opera MERCHANDISE MEDEA, for which she wrote the libretto, was invited to this year’s Performing Arts Festival Berlin.
