Born in Flensburg, Lampe appeared on stage first at age eight in ballet. She was trained for acting by Eduard Marks in Hamburg in 1956. She had her first engagement at the Staatstheater Wiesbaden, followed by the Nationaltheater Mannheim. In the 1960s, she was successful at Theater Bremen where she worked with directors including Peter Zadek and Peter Stein. She played Lady Milford in Schiller's Kabale und Liebe directed by Stein, alongside Bruno Ganz and Edith Clever. She appeared in Shakespeare's (Maß für Maß) Measure for Measure directed by Zadek, and the Princess in Goethe's Torquato Tasso directed by Stein. When Stein founded the Schaubühne in Berlin in 1970, she was one of the first leading women in the ensemble, but always regarding herself as part of the team. She worked there for 30 years. She played Athene in Stein's production of the Orestie by Aischylos. In Klaus Michael Grüber's staging of Shakespeare's Hamlet in 1982, she played Ophelia "as if in a trance". In his production of Kleist's Amphitryon (Kleist) in 1991, she was Alkmene. She performed in several plays by Botho Strauß, directed by Luc Bondy. Strauss had seen her in Wiesbaden at the beginning of her career. With director Robert Wilson, she worked for the premiere of his play Orlando, which he based on the novel by Virginia Woolf. As the play's only actor, she played many roles, changing gender and period on a time voyage. From 2001 to 2002, Lampe was a member of the Burgtheater in Vienna. She played there Arkadina in Chekhov's Die Möwe, directed by Bondy, alongside Gert Voss in a production also shown at the Berliner Theatertreffen. Directed by Edith Clever, she played Winnie in Beckett's Glückliche Tage, with irony and sarcasm. She performed in Berlin once more in 2005, with Clever in a play for two women, Die eine und die andere, which Botho Strauß dedicated to them, staged by Bondy. From 2005 to 2008 she was engaged at the Schauspielhaus Zürich. One of her last roles on stage was there in 2009, in Shaw's Major Barbara which was also Zadek's last premiere. She was married to Peter Stein from 1967 to 1984. Jutta Lampe died in Berlin on 3 December 2020, ten days before her 83rd birthday, after a long struggle with dementia.
