Katta Sterna, (born Katharina Ida Stern; December 19, 1897 – July 29, 1984) was a German actress and dancer.

Her parents therefore consulted Theodor Ziehen, head of the Psychiatric and Neurological Clinic at the Charité of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-University Berlin, who diagnosed her as incurable and recommended her placement in a sanatorium.

[2][3] In 1915, Katta Sterna made her theater debut with Max Reinhardt alongside Ernst Mátray in Midsummer Night's Dream.

In the 1920s, projects emerged in collaboration with Ernst Mátray and her sister Maria Solveg, including The Green Flute, Before the Mirror, and Midsummer Night's Dream.
