Life and work

Diana Marossek grew up in Berlin, where she first studied and successfully completed a Bachelor of Business Administration and Law at the University of Applied Science and then a Master of Media Studies at the TU Berlin. At the TU Berlin, she completed her dissertation in the field of sociolinguistics magna cum laude and was awarded a Dr. phil. PhD. In her dissertation “Are you going to the train station or are you with a car?” , She primarily examined the phenomenon of “contraction avoidance ” (omitting contracted prepositional forms, for example “I go to the kiosk” instead of “I go to the kiosk”) in the language used by Berlin schoolchildren classroom and non-classroom communication she recorded. For this purpose, she attended 8th and 10th grades at a total of 30 Berlin schools with different social backgrounds as an alleged trainee student .

For her dissertation, Marossek received one of the second prizes of the German Study Prize of the Körber Foundation in 2014 . Due to the great public interest, she published her results in book form under the title Coming from the train station or do you have a car? Why we talk the way we talk lately . In it, Marossek tries to establish the designation “ Kurzdeutsch ” for the German dialects spoken mainly by bilingual migrants in Germany , for which Heike Wiese had previously suggested the term “ Kiezdeutsch ”, which is not accepted by experts . In addition, she advocates the thesis that these language patterns have already passed over from youth language to general colloquial language , where they are accepted as an expression of coolness .

Marossek ran Schlehdorn Verlag in Berlin , where she published a number of children's books about the character "Piepvogelchen".

She worked as a lecturer in adult education focusing on corporate, media and copyright law as well as social media and project management.

Since 2006 she has been CEO of Street Art Berlin UG (limited liability) and as such a leading head of various local, national and international projects, artist exchanges, contracts such as murals and company furnishings by artists of the Street Art Berlin network. The network includes famous street artists such as Alias, BLO, Christian Rothenhagen / DeerBLN, Damian Yves Rohde / DYR Wandbrand, El Bocho, Falkland, Johannes Mundinger, Larse "Base23" Niebuhr, Rabea Senftenberg, Ron Miller, Sam Crew, Sokar Uno, Vidam, Xoooox and many more, who make Berlin's streets and galleries the street art stronghold of Germany and Europe that it is.

As part of the Urban Art eV association, she works on a voluntary basis for the organization and implementation of Urban Art Week, which has been taking place annually since 2018 and networks several dozen galleries, organizations and project spaces to give visitors access to urban art (street art, Graffiti writing, performances, live painting and much more) jointly responsible.
