There’s beauty in coming back to one’s roots. For actress Hannah Herzsprung, that means reprising a role that she hasn’t revisited in almost two decades. Glimmering in Cartier and dressed in Miu Miu for her Schön! 46 cover story, the German actress reflects on how her breakout in 2006’s Four Minutes has, somehow, embedded itself into her craft — so much so that she’s now revisiting the role in its sequel, 15 Years.

The industry suddenly saw me as a serious actress, and I began receiving offers for more roles,” she recalls when asked to reflect on her first initiation into the film industry. Since then, she’s never stopped working. “I’m always preparing myself for a part and am constantly doing acting classes alongside a film’s shooting schedule.” The role as Jenny in Four Minutes required her to get into the mindset of a wrongfully convicted prisoner. After hearing about the chance to reprise her role as Jenny, it made sense for Herzsprung to jump in headfirst into 15 Years and to get on board as a co-producer. “Knowing what she’s experienced, where she comes from, and where she is now is quite powerful,” the actor explains. “To not give up, although she’s all alone, makes her an extremely brave and powerful character.”

Much like how her roles interweave themselves throughout her life, her love of fashion has done exactly the same. Long before she became an actress, on the eve of her baptism she was gifted a Cartier Trinity necklace. It has, in its own way, become a mainstay in her life. Fast-forward years later, and the legacy jewellery house Cartier would become a long-time partner to style her for premieres, events, and even her Schön! 46 story. It’s those types of connections that make everything Herzsprung touches into pure magic. Constantly enriching her craft, the actor personifies the German proverb by seminal author Erich Kästner: “Es gibt nichts Gutes, außer man tut es.” There is nothing good, if you don’t do it.
