From 1992 to 1999 she was a member of the listening play for children's radio ensemble of MDR and worked as a voice actor, dubbing and synchronizing various children's films and series. In 1996, she began to perform in plays (among others, in Theaterhaus Schille as the titular character inAntigone and in Schauspiel Leipzig in Jeff Noon's Yellow). At the age of 16, she was discovered during a theatrical performance and in 1998 she took her first film role in the ARD series In aller Freundschaft. Since then, she has appeared in many film and television productions.

She played the lead role of Nelly Heldmann in the 2006 Sat.1 telenovela Schmetterlinge im Bauch, the fairy tale adaptation Des Kaisers neue Kleider, and the Sat.1 film Im Brautkleid meiner Schwester. She portrayed the titular character, Mary of Nazareth, in the 2012 television film Ihr Name war Maria, and had lead roles in the movies Zweisitzrakete (2013) and Open my Eyes (2016).[2]

In 2019, Jung starred in the critically acclaimed television program Das kleine Fernsehspiel,[3][4] and the film Das Menschenmögliche.[5]

Personal life

Jung lived with her partner, television presenter Jan Hahn, and their children Lenius (born 1999) and Julina (born 2004) in Berlin, until their relationship ended in autumn 2006.

She resides in Berlin with her husband, actor Luca Marinelli. They met on the set of Mary of Nazareth.

In 2017, she received her doctorate of medicine.[6] Her dissertation was titled Zinc deficiency is associated with depressive symptoms: results from the Berlin Aging Study II.[7][8]
