During her studies of arts management with French as a special study at the University of Passau, Anja Rauschardt discovered her enthusiasm for the arts business at the European Weeks Festival in Passau, initially in the planning office and later in the press office. Following on from this she gained her first professional experience in a PR-agency in Munich specializing in arts projects.

She has belonged to the regular staff of the KünstlerSekretariat am Gasteig since 2005, where she worked first as assistant to the managing directors in the field of artist management. In 2012 she jointly elaborated and introduced an independent public relations sector for which she has since held sole responsibility.

Anja Rauschardt is at heart half French, speaks the language fluently, and when there is an opportunity plays the clarinet, preferably chamber music.
