Anja Schreiner (née Albrecht; born February 5, 1967) is a professional female bodybuilder from Germany. Schreiner won the 1991 Ms. International contest.
She began lifting weights to combat scoliosis in her adolescence.
Anja won a narrow victory at the 1991 Ms. International, when she topped Tonya Knight by a score of 30 to 32. It was the first most narrowest victory at the Ms. International.[2]
Anja retired from competitive bodybuilding in 1992, but kept having appearances at FIBO and Olympia events.
Currently she is one of the most successful German bodybuilders of all time, along Anja Langer or Achim Albrecht.
After retiring from bodybuilding, Anja had several small roles in tv shows both in the USA and Germany. Her feature film debut was to be a small role alongside Cory Everson in "The Girlfriend from Outer Space", filmed in 1989, but the film was never released.
