Life

edit

In 1984, Altwein completed her studies at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design.[3]  In 2001, she accepted a teaching position at the University of Music Franz Liszt Weimar.

She is successful both nationally and internationally and has won numerous awards. Her sculptures are also visible in public collections.[4] Her marble goddess statues, named the "Three Moirs", were featured outside of the hospital in Lobeda. Due to the expansion of the clinic, the statues were moved in 2012 to a park in Jena.[5]

Altwein signed the anti-immigration 2018 Joint Declaration .
