Biography

Schramm began skating at age 6. His coach was Erich Zeller. He trained at the national center in Oberstdorf, and skated for the EC Oberstdorf club representing West Germany. Amongst his team members were Rudi Cerne and Heiko Fischer. He won the European Championships twice, and also won two silver medals at the World Championships. Additionally, he won a total of three national titles. Schramm gained worldwide publicity for his red outfits, his choreography and spontaneous creativity on ice, but also for creating new spins and reinventing old forgotten spins. Therefore he was labeled "World Best Ice Entertainer" by journalists.

In 1984 he retired from amateur competition and became professional world champion in Washington, D.C., United States. He also appeared in ice shows such as Holiday on Ice and also directed and choreographed such shows. In 1988, he began coaching figure skaters. From 2002 until 2007 he was artistic director of the ice show at Europa-Park. In 2006 he was a representative of the German "Dancing on Ice" television show.

He was married to Nicola Brown, and his daughter Bernadette Schramm was born on March 4, 1994. He also was married to German-American filmmaker Marianne Hettinger, but unfortunately this marriage did not even last a year. Currently, Norbert Schramm lives in New York City, where he works as a full-time action and people photographer.

Schramm was Grand Marshal of the 2012 Steuben Parade in New York City.(http://www.germanparadenyc.org/news59.html)
