Andreas Auerbach studied set and costume design at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee from 1991 to 1996. He subsequently worked as an assistant to Robert Wilson, Bert Neumann and Anna Viebrock at the Hebbel-Theater and the Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin. Since 1996, he has worked as a freelance set and costume designer with directors and choreographers such as Sebastian Baumgarten, Nelly Danker, Maxim Didenko, Tilman Gersch, Sebastian Hartmann, Tim Plegge, Mario and Silvana Schröder, amongst others, at the Schauspiel and the Oper Leipzig, the Theater Basel, the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg, the Staatsschauspiel Hannover, the Volksbühne Berlin, the Residenztheater Munich, the Schauspiel Dortmund, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Staatsschauspiel Dresden, the Schauspiel Frankfurt and the Volkstheater Wien.

Since 2011, he has enjoyed a particularly close collaboration with director Claudia Bauer, which has so far resulted in four invitations to the Berlin Theatertreffen: »89/90« (Leipzig Theatre), »Tartuffe or The Pig of the Wise« (Basel Theatre), »Süßer Vogel Jugend« (Schauspiel Leipzig) and »humanistää! eine abschaffung der sparten« (Volkstheater Wien). In the critics’ poll conducted by the magazine Theater heute in 2022, he was named Costume Designer of the Year for his costume design for »humanistää!«
