Anna Werner

[1] Anna Werner grew up in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps at Walchensee where her mother, born Norma Bucherer, celebrated her one hundredth birthday on 19 October 2011.

While still young Anna Werner moved to Mexico where she lived and travelled alone with her camera for a year and a half before being joined by her younger sister, Frauke.

[4] It was around this time in the United States that she first met Jazon Wonders, later the father of her daughter Janna, known today as a film maker and musician in the band Ya-Ha!.

[7] In 1976, with the Langhans and the photo-models Brigitte Streubel and Jutta Winkelmann Werner founded the "experimental living community" which subsequently became known as The Harem in Munich.

More recently, she was for several years the only member of the virtual commune to be based not in Munich-Schwabing but in the mountains to the south, in Walchensee where until it was rented out she helped her mother with the running of the family café.
