Scotzniovsky's lyrical work consists mainly of ballads , including legendary ballads that pick up on legends from the area around Baden-Baden and their homeland. She sent her first poems to the Badwochenblatt for the Grand Duke. City of Baden bei. In 1845 she published her collected poems as well as her only drama Ahasuerus King of the Assyrians in self-publishing. August Schnezler took four of the legends ballads from her volume of poetry into his Badisches Legends-Buch , although he made some changes. In 1848 Emilie Scotzniovsky published her poetry together with the drama in one volume, with the poem section being significantly expanded. A reviewer in the papers for literary entertainment certified that she had some talent for her ballads, but the drama was downright panned.

Finally, posthumously, a pure collection of legend ballads appeared, The fourteen wall paintings of the new drinking hall in Baden. Poetically portrayed by Emilie Scotzniovsky geb. Mattes . The ballads were inspired by the 14 frescoes by the painter Jakob Götzenberger , which are attached to the new drinking hall completed in 1842 .
