Portrait story of Tina Rupprecht for ZEIT Online, Germany | Jana Margarete Schuler
In April 2025, on assignment for ZEIT Online, Jana Margarete Schuler photographed German boxer Tina Rupprecht at a groundbreaking moment in sports history. At just 1.53 meters tall and fighting in the atomweight division, Rupprecht became the first German — man or woman — to unify all four major world titles in boxing. The portrait series captures rare strength and quiet determination, marking one of the greatest achievements in German sports.
