From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Christiane F. was a drug addict in Berlin/Germany. As of 2004, she has overcome her addiction.
Her story is well known in Germany, because Kai Herrmann and Horst Rieck, two Stern journalists, ran a series of articles about her life and her addiction which eventually led to the book and its success. The report chronicles her years 1975-1978, when she was aged 12-15.
Eventually, the series was printed as a paperback book, titled Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo. In 1981, the story was made into a film by Bernd Eichinger and Uli Edel.
