Dea Loher was born Andrea Beate Loher in 1964 in Traunstein, Bavaria, Germany. She initially used the first name Dea as a pen name, but eventually changed her name officially to Dea. She studied German literature and philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. She then spent a year in Brazil. In 1990, she began studying creative writing for the stage with Heiner Müller and Yaak Karsunke at the Berlin University of the Arts.[1] Her first plays premiered in the early 1990s, and she gained recognition as one of the most important young playwrights of her time in Germany.[2] Dea Loher has since been awarded major prizes for drama and literature in Germany, including the Joseph-Breitbach-Preis.
