Angelika Helene Anna Nußberger (born 1 June 1963 in Munich) is a German jurist and scholar of Slavonics, and has been the judge in respect of Germany at the European Court of Human Rights since 1 January 2011. She had previously been Prorector of the University of Cologne and Director of its Institute of Eastern European Law.
Nußberger was born in Munich, the capital of the southern-German state of Bavaria, and studied Slavonics at the University of Munich from 1982 to 1987 and Law from 1984 to 1989 at the same university. She passed the first state legal exam in Munich in 1989 and the second in Heidelberg in 1993, being awarded a doctorate that year by the University of Würzburg for a dissertation on Soviet constitutional law during the transition period.
From 1993 to 2001, Nußberger worked at the Max Planck Society Institute for International and Comparative Social Law, including a period spent at Harvard University from 1994 to 1995. From 2001 to 2002, she worked as a legal adviser at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg.
In 2002, Nußberger achieved her habilitation, the highest academic qualification a scholar can achieve in Germany, with a thesis on public international law. That year, she was appointed Professor at the Faculty of Law of the University of Cologne, and has led the Institute for Eastern European Law since then. In 2009, she was appointed Prorector (deputy to the Rector) of the university with the newly created position of Prorector for Academic Careers, Diversity and Internationality. She has been a member of the International Labour Organization's Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations from 2004 to 2010, and a substitut member of the Council of Europe's Venice Commission from 2003 to 2010. In 2010, she was awarded an honorary doctorate by Tbilisi State University in Georgia.
