Ingeborg "Inge" von Wangenheim (née Franke; 1 July 1912 – 6 April 1993) was a German actress who married actor Gustav Von Wangenheim and joined the Communist Party. After the war, she became a successful East German writer.
She also had a talent for photography: she left an intriguing photographic archive from the years she spent living in Moscow during the 1930s and 40s. The archive is the more remarkable because it concerns a time and places where, for both economic and political reasons, very few people would have had access to photographic equipment.
