Rosenthal was born 1992 in Hameln. From 2011 to 2012 she served as a volunteer at Care Deutschland-Luxemburg in Bonn.[1] She studied teaching.[2]
Rosenthal joined the SPD, and therefore was automatically enrolled in the Young Socialists in the SPD (Jusos),[3] in 2013. In January 2021, she was elected chairwoman of Jusos.[4]
Rosenthal was elected to the Bundestag in 2021.[5] In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the SPD, the Green Party and the Free Democrats (FDP) following elections, she was part of her party's delegation in the working group on education policy, co-chaired by Andreas Stoch, Felix Banaszak and Jens Brandenburg.[6]
In parliament, Rosenthal has since been serving on the Committee on Education, Research and Technology Assessment.[7] Within her own parliamentary group, she is part of a working group on migration and integration.[8]
Since January 2023, Rosenthal has been serving on an internal SPD commission on tax reform, co-chaired by Saskia Esken and Lars Klingbeil.[9]
In 2023, Rosenthal announced that she would not run again as chairwoman of the Jusos and instead focus on her pregnancy.[10]
Amid the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Rosenthal opposed the Scholz government's effort to change Germany’s constitution to allow for a credit-based special defense fund of 100 billion euros ($107.35 billion).[14]
