Wiener was born in Halle, West Germany from the Austrian writer, cyberneticist and restaurateur Oswald Wiener and the German-Austrian visual artist Lore Heuermann and raised with her mother in Vienna, Austria.[5] At the age of seventeen Sarah Wiener left a girls' boarding school and then hitchhiked through Europe.[6] After opening her first restaurant in Berlin in 1999, Wiener established a number of additional restaurants and cafés in the city, including at Hamburger Bahnhof (2003), the Academy of the Arts (2005), the Museum for Communication (2009) and Futurium (2019). She also operated restaurants at German Museum of Technology in Berlin and Mercedes-Benz MuseuminStuttgart.
In 2007, Wiener set up the Sarah Wiener Foundation, a non-profit organization to promote healthy eating habits among children and teenagers. She has since been increasingly active as a campaigner.[8] She was also involved with food quality group Foodwatch.[9] Since 2015, she has been operating an organic farm in the Uckermark region.[10]
In addition to her committee assignments, Wiener was part of the Parliament's delegation to the EU-Armenia Parliamentary Partnership Committee, the EU-Azerbaijan Parliamentary Cooperation Committee and the EU-Georgia Parliamentary Association Committee. She also chaired the MEP Interest Group on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)[13] and was a member of the European Parliament Intergroup on Anti-Corruption,[14] the European Parliament Intergroup on LGBT Rights[15] and of the European Parliament Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals.[16]
In January 2024, Wiener announced that she would not stand in the 2024 European elections but instead resign from active politics by the end of the term.[17]
Wiener has a son. From 2008 until 2014, she was married to German actor Peter Lohmeyer; during the relationship, she lived in Hamburg's Ottensen district.[19]
