She was born on July 16, 1969 in Jena, East Germany.
Wagenknecht studied philosophy, German literature, and economics at the University of Jena and the University of Groningen.
She became involved in politics in the 1990s and was a member of the German Communist Party before joining the Left Party in 2007.
Wagenknecht served as a member of the Bundestag (German parliament) from 2009 to 2021, representing the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
She is known for her left-wing economic policies, advocating for higher taxes on the wealthy, increased social spending, and stronger workers' rights.
Wagenknecht has been a vocal critic of globalization, neoliberalism, and the European Union, arguing for a more protectionist and nationalist approach to economic policy.
She has also been a strong opponent of military intervention and foreign wars, particularly Germany's involvement in conflicts in the Middle East.
Wagenknecht is married to fellow politician Oskar Lafontaine, who co-founded the Left Party and served as a prominent figure in German politics.
In recent years, Wagenknecht has become a controversial figure within the Left Party, with some members accusing her of being too conservative and compromising the party's leftist principles.
