Timeline
Living in Germany, and fearing difficulties after the Brexit vote, Roche became a German citizen in 2017.
Her second novel, Schoßgebete (English: Wrecked) was published in 2011. The novel makes reference to a family tragedy in Roche's own life: in 2001, her three brothers were killed in a traffic accident on the way to her wedding.
In an interview published in Der Spiegel in 2010, Charlotte Roche proposed to have sex with German president Christian Wulff in exchange for his veto on a new regulation extending the life of nuclear reactors, highlighting the controversial extension, and Wulff's role in passing it into law.
Roche's book Feuchtgebiete (English: Wetlands) was the world's best-selling novel at Amazon.com in March 2008. Partly autobiographical, it explores cleanliness, sex and femininity, and had sold over 1,500,000 copies in Germany by early 2009. For supporters it is an erotic literary novel; for critics it is cleverly marketed shock fiction bordering on pornography with a previously exhibited habit of the author of offense for the sake of offense.
In 2006, Roche played the female lead in the German film Eden, directed by Michael Hofman. The film was widely distributed in Europe.
In 2006 Roche featured on the single "1. 2. 3. ..." with German musician Bela B., from Bela's debut album Bingo.
Roche has a daughter, Polly, born in 2002, whose father Eric Pfeil [de] was the producer and writer of Roche's programme Fast Forward and Der Kindergeburtstag ist vorbei! (The child's birthday party is over). Since 2007, Roche has been married to Martin Keß, co-founder of Brainpool, a media company in Cologne.
Roche left home in 1993, still aged 17, and formed the garage rock group The Dubinskis with three female friends. The band never released an album, nor recorded any material, nor notably performed anywhere. There followed a period where she undertook anything that would shock and offend people – self-mutilation to paint with blood, drug experiments, or shaving her head. After successfully auditioning for the German music channel Viva, she worked there for several years as a video jockey and presenter, as well on the sister channel Viva Zwei, where she presented her show Fast Forward.
Roche, the daughter of an engineer and a politically and artistically active mother was born in High Wycombe UK near London and raised in Germany. In 1983, when Roche was five years old, Roche's parents divorced, an event and experience that Roche later incorporated in her novels Feuchtgebiete (English: Wetlands) and Schoßgebete [de] (English: Wrecked). She grew up in the Lower Rhine region, in a family with liberal views. Her primary school was in Niederkrüchten. In 1989 she went to the secondary school, St. Wolfhelm Gymnasium, in the neighbouring town of Schwalmtal. When she was 14 years old she moved to Mönchengladbach, where she was educated at the Hugo Junkers Gymnasium in Rheydt. She left school after the 11th grade, at the age of 17. She obtained initial stage experience in drama groups during her time at school.
