Petra Einhoff is a German actress and voice actor born on January 18, 1963, in Attendorn, Germany. She completed her acting training at the Otto-Falckenberg-Schule in Munich from 1983 to 1987. Following her education, she had early stage engagements at the Mainfranken Theater in Würzburg. Einhoff later joined the Munich Kammerspiele under the direction of Dieter Dorn, where she remained for several years before pursuing work in film and television.

Within the field of voice acting, Einhoff has participated in numerous German-language dubbing productions for international films and television series. Her anime and animation roles include voicing the character Yuko in the German dub of the seventh Pokémon feature film, Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys, which was produced in 2004. She is also known for providing the German voice for the character Baccarat in the film One Piece Film Gold, released in 2016. Additional animation work includes roles in various installments of the Toy Story franchise, where she voices Bonnie's Mother, as well as appearances in the Scooby-Doo series. In a notable early anime role, she voiced Kokiri, the mother of the title character, in the 2005 German dub of Hayao Miyazakis Kikis kleiner Lieferservice (Kikis Delivery Service).

Beyond animation, Einhoffs voice acting portfolio includes dubbing performances for a wide range of international actresses across many film genres. She has provided the German voice for Cate Blanchett in The Gift, for Sarah Jessica Parker in Miami Rhapsody, and for Caroline Goodall in the Plötzlich Prinzessin (The Princess Diaries) films. Her extensive list of dubbing credits also features work for actresses such as Emily Mortimer, Lena Headey, Natasha McElhone, and Maggie Cheung.

In addition to her voice work, Petra Einhoff has maintained an active career as an on-screen performer. She is perhaps best known for her long-running role as the forensic pathologist Dr. Sabine Eckstein on the ZDF crime series Die Rosenheim-Cops, a character she played in nearly 180 episodes from October 2010 to November 2016. Her television work also includes roles on series such as SOKO Stuttgart, Die Chefin, and the hospital drama Alphateam – Die Lebensretter im OP. Her career thus encompasses significant contributions to both German-language dubbing, particularly in the anime genre, and live-action German television.
