Margit Schramm (21 July 1935 – 12 May 1996) was a German soprano in operetta, opera and song. She also appeared as a film actress and hosted a television show. In the 1960s, she became known as an operetta diva (called "Queen of operetta") on stage, German television, in numerous concerts and in films, where she often appeared together with her favourite stage partner, the tenor Rudolf Schock.
Schramm was married first to Fritz Seidler, then to the director Fred Kraus, father of the pop singer Peter Kraus.[2] She performed with Peter Kraus and Viktor de Kowa in the 1969 television film Walzertraum of Ein Walzertraum by Oscar Straus, with Fred Kraus as director.[7]
When operetta started to lose its impact at the beginning of the 1980s, she left the stage. She lived as a businesswoman in Munich, where she died at the age of 60.[2]
