Later she lived as a teacher's wife in Rudolfswaldau (Sierpnica; today to Głuszyca ), where she was considered the "Lord Godspoetin from the Owl Mountains" who "tried to shape the long-forgotten area of ​​the owl in songs and stories". In 1936 she published in Albendorf a consecration-festival of the albums Dorfer Wallfahrtsbasilika. In a survey carried out from 1955 by the “Kulturwerk Schlesien e. V. ”named her as a profession as a writer on the subjects of“ religion - homeland - humor ”,“ also amateur play ”. She was apparently unable to publish an announced novel Die Dreikönigsmühle because of the Nazi cultural policy.
