In 1966, Alenka Auersperger graduated from the Department of Comparative Literature at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana. She is the author of three monographic publications: "Chinese Notes" (1994), "Travel Chronograms" (2003), and "Grail Seekers" (2004). Auersperger has also contributed to the field of documentary filmmaking, producing more than fifty documentaries and reportages.

Her work often delves into the narratives of elderly individuals, such as Jožef Čudn and Princess Rechbach, with some of her films set to be showcased in retro. From her early days as a TV Ljubljana correspondent in Sarajevo, she transitioned to film documentaries with a social focus, addressing issues ranging from the Roma, prisoners, and homeless to lonely individuals. Following a two-year stint in China and two years in Hungary, she shifted her focus to nationality-related matters in both film and writing.

Her recent works at Television Slovenia involve attempts to revive the German minority. This includes a short article for Tednik titled "Another minority?" (1995), exploring the first German society in Maribor. Additionally, her documentaries like "In an Indelible Memory - Im Langzeitgedächtnis" (1997) highlight the resettlement of Kočevars from Kočevska and their settlement in the homes of exiled Slovenes in Posavje and Obsotelje. Furthermore, "Aulofonia domestica" (1998) addresses the issue of returning property to the nobility in Štajersko and Dolenjsko.
