Anja Schreiner

Anja Schreiner, born Anja Albrecht on February 5, 1967, is a professional female bodybuilder from Germany who won the Ms. International contest in 1992. She began lifting weights in her adolescence to combat scoliosis. After winning Miss Germany in 1986, she entered professional contests in 1989, finishing eleventh at the Ms. International that year and third in 1990. In 1991 she came second at the Ms. International, losing to Tonya Knight by two points, and in 1992 she won the title. She also competed at the IFBB Ms. Olympia each year from 1990 to 1992, placing third in 1990, eighth in 1991 and sixth in 1992. She retired from competitive bodybuilding in 1992 but continued to appear at FIBO and Olympia events, and is regarded as one of the most successful German bodybuilders of all time, alongside Anja Langer and Achim Albrecht. After retiring she took small acting roles in television in the United States and Germany, and her planned feature film debut alongside Cory Everson was filmed in 1989 but never released.
