Dr. Ina Knobloch – winner of the Hessian Film Award, environmentalist, master of documentary film and author

She is a multi-talent in her field, incredibly likeable, and has both feet on the ground. Frankfurt is her adopted home and the centre of her life. She also loves Costa Rica, where she fulfilled her dream of her own tree house.

In addition to the 10-part series “Der Traum vom Baumhaus”, which she shot for Spiegel TV Wissen, she has also produced numerous other films and reports, such as the ARD series “Deutschlands wilde Tiere”, the HR/3SAT series “Expedition ins Pflanzenreich” and the ZDF series “Jäger verlorener Schätze”, to name but a few. One of her great passions is also writing feature film scripts and novels.

After “Costa Rica” (Hildebrand), “Rosenduft und Blütenzauber” (Fischer/Scherz) and “Das Geheimnis der Schatzinsel” (Mare), “Der Duftmacher” (Piper/Pendo) was her debut novel, followed by “Farina – Der Parfümeur von Köln” and “Farina – Der Duft von Köln”. In her latest book “Baumhaus mit Faultier” (“Tree House with Sloth”), published in August by Ullstein Verlag, she dedicates herself to her favourite project, the construction of a tree house in Costa Rica. Stefanie Lupp, a close companion of hers and president of the Zonta Club Nidda-Oberhessen, organized a reading of her latest book in her honor.

It is a real pleasure to listen to her words and it is inspiring with what passion Ina Knobloch reports about her life and her ideas in Costa Rica. Her eyes shine, her expression captures, her cordiality convinces, and all this coupled with an authenticity that speaks volumes. You can feel that she is in her element and knows exactly what is important. Pure energy.

Astrid Arens – The Voice, who was present as a listener that evening, said: “This woman is convinced, she is authentic and she burns for what she is doing. Her book is a gift to nature.”
