She finished her studies at the German University for Physical Education in Berlin in 1927 as the best of the year.
She acquired the qualification to teach sports massage, folk dance and baby gymnastics and remained at the university as a lecturer, where she built up the women's studies as director until she was dismissed by the Nazis on May 1, 1933.
In 1930 she married Carl Diem (children were born in 1931, 1932, 1935, 1941)
Until 1935 she studied at the Günther School Munich-Berlin and acquired the teaching qualification for musical / rhythmic physical formation. Until 1946 she worked as a physical education teacher at various Berlin schools, before switching to the Berlin curriculum committee for physical education.
From 1947 she headed women's training at the German Sport University in Cologne, where she became full professor for didactics and methods of physical education in 1965. As early as 1955, she became the first German university teacher to become an International Fellow of the National Academy of Kinesiology .
