The sons Friedrich , Eberhard, Philipp and Michael and the daughters Mathilde and Fleur emerged from the marriage. The family lives in Altshausen Castle in Altshausen.

After a break from work from 1968 to 1971 due to illness, around 80 pictures were created annually between 1971 and 1980. At the beginning of the eighties she turned to new techniques and devoted herself to the design in bronze and metal and had to learn to weld .

Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions around the world.
