    In 1959, she became a member of the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz, focused on operetta.[2] She had a sensational success in Lehár's Der Graf von Luxemburg alongside Rudolf Schock.[1] Her signature role was Hanna Glawari, the title role in Lehár's Die lustige Witwe, which she performed on stage more than 500 times.[2][3] She also performed the title roles of Fall's Madame Pompadour and Kálmán's Gräfin Mariza, among others.[2] The composer Robert Stolz called her『Königin der Operette』(Queen of operetta).[3] She remained at the house until 1964, then moved to the Theater des Westens in Berlin, from 1965 she also performed at the Vienna Volksoper, in 1967 at the Opernhaus Dortmund and in 1968 at the Staatstheater Wiesbaden.[1]

    Schramm took part in several successful operetta films, including adaptations of Paul Lincke's Frau Luna [de] (1964) and of Paul Abraham's Viktoria und ihr Husar (1965),[3] alongside partners including Schock, Johannes Heesters,[4] Brigitte Mira and Gunnar Möller.[5]
