She was a citizen of the municipality of Vaduz and attended the local elementary school. From 1877 to 1881 she attended the Gutenberg Institute in Balzers run by the Sisters of Christian Love . Already in her youth she was interested in literature and history and was supported and encouraged by her brother and cousin Ferdinand Nigg . At the end of the 1870s, Rheinberger began to write natural and local poems. Between 1890 and 1891 she wrote the historical novel "Gutenberg Schalun - A story from the 14th century" . This was published in 1897, making Rheinberger the first Liechtenstein writer.

After her mental health deteriorated in the second half of the 1890s, she was nursed first at home, then in the monastery hospital of her aunt Maxentia , who belonged to the Sisters of Charity in Zams , and in the University Hospital Innsbruck.
