Ena Anglein von Baer Jahn (born 28 November 1974 in Temuco) is a Chilean journalist, political scientist and senator.
In December 2009, von Baer lost a very tight race for a seat in the Senate. In March 2010 she became Minister Secretary-General of Government. In July 2011 she was designated senator, replacing Pablo Longueira, who left the senate to become Minister of Economy.
Prior to her work in the government, von Baer was a panelist on a televised political show and worked for the right-wing think-tank Instituto Libertad y Desarrollo.
Born in the Araucanía Region of Chile to biological-geneticist Erik von Baer and Helga Jahn, Ena von Baer was raised between the towns of Cajón, Gorbea, and Temuco. She is the third of four sisters; they others are Ingrid, Karina, and Sybille. Their German-born father arrived in Chile as a child with his parents after World War II. The von Baer family is credited for support of agriculture in the Arauco Province.
Ena von Baer studied at Temuco's German school, the Colegio Alemán de Temuco. She moved to Santiago in 1994 to study journalism at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. In 1998, she married Eduardo Frohlich, a civil engineer with whom she has two children. After her marriage, she traveled to Germany to pursue a master's degree and a doctorate in political science from the University of Aachen.
