Annette Nehberg-Weber

At the age of 11, she read Karl May's Winnetou books. This would lead to her meeting Rüdiger Nehberg years later. She continued to inform herself about the situation of the indigenous peoples of the Americas and decided that she wanted to bring medical aid to the indigenous people.

Training as a medical assistant was to bring her one step closer to this goal. Rüdiger's book "The Last Hunt" and her son Roman's interest in survival led her to a lecture by Rüdiger Nehberg in 1997. They became a couple. In 1999, they organized Rüdiger Nehberg's spectacular Atlantic crossing to protect indigenous people and the rainforest. In Brazil, where Rüdiger Nehberg arrived, they visited the indigenous Waiãpi people. Annette Nehberg's first medical project was born: the TARGET infirmary in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. In September 2000, they founded the association TARGET e. V. Rüdiger Nehberg, and she has been on the board ever since. After Rüdiger's death in 2020, she continued to run the human rights organization with daughter Sophie and son Roman.
