Anke Engelke Turns 60 - The Most Beautiful Pictures of Her Career - Anke Engelke Turns 60 - The Most Beautiful Pictures of Her Career
Anke Engelke will celebrate her 60th birthday on December 21, 2025. The actress and presenter remains one of Germany’s most beloved entertainers, known for her sharp wit and lasting impact on television. Though no new TV projects have been announced, she recently appeared as a guest on the Hotel Matze podcast.
Engelke first rose to fame in the late 1970s as the host of ZDF’s children’s holiday programme, a role she held from 1979 to 1986. Later, she became a household name as Ricky in the pop group Tic Tac Toe and for her on-screen blind date with Olli Dietrich.
Despite her success, she remains selective about her work. Engelke only takes on roles she genuinely believes in, a principle that has guided her career for decades. Currently, she stars as Tina Bowermann in Deutsche Bahn’s series *Boah, Bahn!*—a fitting role for someone who avoids flying due to a fear of heights. Her preference for train travel is well-known, aligning with her public persona as both down-to-earth and environmentally conscious.
As Engelke approaches her milestone birthday, her influence on German entertainment stays strong. With no new television projects confirmed, fans can still catch her in Boah, Bahn! or revisit her past work. Her careful choice of roles ensures that each appearance remains memorable.
