Born and raised in
Saarland, Hein first appeared on stage at the age of five. Together with her father, she acted in various fairy tales and farces at the
Naturbühne Gräfinthal. Another great passion of hers was music. As a child, she was sent to early musical education, followed by recorder, guitar and piano lessons. At the age of 13, she received her first singing lesson and became a member of the
children's choir of the
Saarländisches Staatstheater. In 1995, she graduated from high school and passed the entrance exam at the
Folkwang-Hochschule in
Essen. There she studied acting, singing and dance until 1999. During her studies, she was engaged at the
Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus and the Theater im Rathaus in Essen. She also made a short film for the
Academy of Media Arts Cologne. After her studies, Hein received her first engagement at the
Grenzlandtheater Aachen. There she played four leading roles during one year and was awarded the
Karl-Heinz-Walther-Prize for the best young actor in 2000. Since November 2019, she has been active as a
Saarland ambassador. == Personal life ==
