Andrea “Anni” Brehme first appeared in GZSZ on 26th July, 2013. She moved from a small town to Berlin to be able to live freely – especially in regards to her love of women, after her parents (but mostly her father) disapproved of her sexuality. The rejection from her father left its mark on her and she has thus developed strong defence mechanisms.
In addition to her studies to become a sound engineer, she finds jobs at both the Vereinsheim (cafe) and the Mauerwerk (club).
Anni is relentlessly honest, impulsive, loyal, self confident and an absolute free spirit who can not be pigeon-holed.
