Susanne Schädlich (born 29 November 1965) is a German writer and literary translator.
She is also experienced as a "ghost writer". The daughter of a high-profile East German dissident intellectual, she came to wider prominence with her 2009 book "Immer wieder Dezember.
Der Westen, die Stasi, der Onkel und ich" (loosely "December, always December.
The west, the Stasi, the uncle and I") in which she tells the story of her childhood in the two Germanies during the Cold War, and the impact of discovering that her trusted and loved uncle (who later killed himself on a Berlin park bench) had been spying on her family through much of her childhood in order to report on them to the widely detested Ministry for State Security apparatus (Stasi).
