biography
The daughter of Count Christoph Schlick (1524–1578) and Barbara von Kolowrat (1529–1601) from the Maschau line of the family may have been born in Neudek in the Ore Mountains .
Since 1582 she was married to Melchior von Redern . During the absence of her husband, who was in imperial military service, Katharina administered his rule in Friedland with Reichenberg and Seidenberg . After Melchior's death, on September 20, 1600, Katharina took over the management of the property for her underage son Christoph .
They moved the seat of the rulership to Reichenberg, where it remained until the castle fire in 1615, and granted the city the salt trade privilege. The Protestant ordered the closing of the pilgrimage church in Haindorf and ordered that the miraculous image of the Virgin Mary be brought to Reichenberg Castle. In 1605 she had a marble tomb for her husband with a bronze statue built by the sculptor Gerhard Heinrich in the Church of the Finding of the Cross in Friedland. In 1607 she founded the poor hospital in Reichenberg. She completed the town hall construction begun in 1599 by the city of Reichenberg in 1603 with her own funds. In 1609 Katharina von Redern founded the village of Katharinberg .
