When she was two years old, her parents divorced. Nitsch therefore grew up in a renowned boarding school, where she also graduated from high school. After school she trained as a costume designer. During her training, Nitsch came into contact with the film world. She took part in some filming, which made her decide to become an actress. Nitsch took on her first smaller roles in television series such as "Forsthaus Falkenau", "Derrick", "Der Alte" and "Freunde fürs Leben" in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Nitsch achieved her first breakthrough and greater popularity in 1993 in the lead role in the ZDF series "Nur einer kleine Affair", for which she received the Adolf Grimme Prize and the Bavarian Television Prize the following year.

She celebrated further success in 1994 as the hardened head of a special operations team in the Pro7 series "The Streets of Berlin". In 1996, directed by Dieter Wedel, she appeared as a shady hairdresser in the television production "Der Schattenmann" on ZDF. In the cinema, Nitsch shone as a bank robber in the film "Thieves" in 1996 and in the comedy "Women Don't Lie" in 1997 and in the thriller "Shock - A Woman in Fear". In her performance she impressed with her distinctive voice as an emancipated, combative woman.
