Early life

Nora von Waldstätten was born in Vienna. She is a member of the former Austrian noble Barons of Waldstätten family.[3] She is the great-granddaughter of the former general, Theresien Knight and military writer Egon Freiherr von Waldstätten. Since the provisions of the Austrian law on the elimination of nobility forbid this from being a noble title, Nora von Waldstätten used this name until the end of 2016 as a stage name. She graduated from Berlin University of the Arts in 2007. During this time, she was engaged in productions for cinema and television.[4]
