I was born in the year 1949 and grew up with two siblings in agricultural surroundings. I loved the work with the many animals and on the fields even though it was a tough job.

After I finished my school education I went to the college for home economics as was then the ususal for girls.

Got married in 1968 and we had two sons. My husband died in the year 2000.
Duirng my marriage I devoted myself to children's upbringing and jobs in the care sector.

In-between I finished an Open University course. This included the great writers' seminar and journalist lectures.

Some of my hobbies are among others my cats. I'm also a member in several associations.

Since 1998 I write Low-German columns for the Verdener–Aller–Zeitung, which are then published on weekends.

In November 2005 I published my first book with the title 'Tine Listich' vertellt' (Tine Listich narrates).
Since I grew up with only the Low-German dialect I'm able to speak it perfectly. I love to write little stories from life in Low-German and also entertain with humoristic readings at events - not only in Low-German.
