Janina Hartwig was born in East Germany and began acting as a child.[2] She studied acting at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts in Berlin-Schöneweide.[2]

From 1998 to 2001 she acted in 52 episodes of the television series Bei aller Liebe as Dr. Sarah Borkmann.[4] Since 2006 she has starred as Sister Hanna in the series Um Himmels Willen, for which she won the Goldene Henne for acting together with colleague Fritz Wepper, as well as a Bambi (also with Fritz Wepper).
