After taking the Abitur school-leaving examination, Stratmann studied social work at the Catholic University of Applied Sciences in North Rhine-Westphalia, in Cologne.

Stratmann had her first television appearances as the host of the comedy shows Manngold and Sonst gerne on tm3 and on ZDF.

To hide her pregnancy, her Schillerstraße character became very "fat" by means of a fatsuit and finally had to go to a diet camp.

On 31 March 2006, she gave birth to a son, Emil, from her marriage with Rainer Osnowski.
