Eichhorn went to a Waldorf school in Stuttgart, graduated in 1986, and then attended the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen until 1989. From 1989 until 1995, she held engagements at Schaubühne and Schauspielhaus Bochum theaters. Starting in 2017, Eichhorn starred as Charlotte Doppler in the ensemble cast of the acclaimed Netflix production Dark.[2]

She became known to movie audiences in 1995 in the films Three Days in April [de] and The Sandman [de]. In the latter, she plays a journalist who as part of her research, spies on a shady crime writer played by Götz George. Eichhorn mainly works in theater, such as the Thalia Theater in Hamburg and the Burgtheater in Vienna, but she consistently appears in television and film productions.

Eichhorn is married to Danish writer Arne Nielsen and lives with him and their daughter, Jule, in Hamburg. In 2012, she was a member of the international jury of the 61st International Filmfestival Mannheim-Heidelberg.[3]
