Veronica Ferres was born in Solingen, Germany, and studied German Literature, Psychology and Drama at University of Munich before taking up acting. After her first major film role in Edgar Reitz's "Leaving Home" (1988), she worked steadily in both television and film, garnering particular acclaim for her supporting role in the witty political and media satire "Schtonk!" based on the Hitler Diaries hoax of the early 1980s.

For these roles, she won awards such as the Adolf Grimme Prize, the German Television Prize, the Bavarian Television Prize, the Golden Camera Award and the Bambi Award. In order to develop her own passion projects, she founded her own production company, Construction Film GmbH, in 2012.
