Марианна Розенберг: Путь немецкой звезды эстрады.

German singer

Marianne Rosenberg (born 10 March 1955) is a German Schlager music singer and songwriter.

Rosenberg is of Roma and Sinti background. Her father, Otto, an Auschwitz death camp survivor, was an activist on Roma and Sinti issues. Her sister, Petra, also advocates for Roma issues.

Rosenberg's musical career was consolidated throughout the 1970s with hits such as "italic=no" ("Stranger"), "italic=no" ("He belongs to me"), "italic=no" ("I am like you") which was later sampled by Blue Adonis on their track "Disco Cop", "Marleen", and "italic=no" ("Songs of the Night"), often making appearances on TV and radio. She is considered one of the most successful performers of German Schlager of the last four decades. She was one of the first German singers to introduce disco in the German music market with "Ich bin wie du".

In 2004, Rosenberg re released Marleen in a remixed version and with a new promotional video. The single reached number 33 on the official German Charts as compiled by Media Control. The follow up single "italic=no" reached number 77. Both singles were taken from her 2004 disco flavoured album Für immer wie heute, which reached number 12 on the German album charts, and consisted of remakes of her hits from the 70s. In 2008, Rosenberg released her first jazz and chanson album, I'm a Woman. In 2011 she released her first album with new music since Himmlisch in 2000. With Regenrhythmus she was trying to change her sound from being a German Schlager singer to a more modern sound. She was involved in the production of the album and received positive reviews for the result. The album reached number 29 on the German charts. It wasn't until 2020 when Rosenberg released her next album. With Im Namen der Liebe she made it to the number 1 spot of the German album charts for the first time in her career. She released a Jubiläums Edition of the successful album later in 2020, which contained a second CD with remixes and new songs.
