She was born as Adelheid Johanna Emilie Hoburg and was the third of her parents' five children. As a daughter from a good family, she received private lessons. She then went to a posh girls' boarding school and, when she returned home, led a life of material security. In 1851 Adele Hoburg married the Silesian Baron Karl Reinhard von Portugall. The named was a widower and father of a son. Her husband died after seven years of marriage. The widowed childless baroness moved to Berlin, where she made the acquaintance of Bertha von Marenholtz-Bülow , who introduced her to the "spiritual world" of Froebel education. Adele von Portugall completed her studies a. a. still with Henriette Breymann in her training center in Watzum and with August Köhler in Gotha, in whose teacher and kindergarten teacher seminar she briefly taught. From 1861 to 1863 she worked as a kindergarten teacher in Manchester . After a short stopover in Berlin, Adele moved from Portugall to Geneva. She lived there for over 20 years with a short break.

In 1905 the baroness published "a widespread, concise, but unhistorical biography" about Friedrich Froebel, not referring to the handwritten estate:

In a loose series of six essays, your writing gives an insight into Froebel's genetic-developing method, into the conception of "human education" and he "mother and child songs", informs about the foundation and purpose of the kindergarten. identifies Froebel as a teacher, emphasizes his visual principle and gives an outline of the means of employment ... That Portugall would like to see the kindergarten integrated into the school organization ... corresponds to the opinion at the time .
