Margarethe von Alvensleben came from the Low German noble family von Alvensleben . Born as the sixth child of Ferdinand Graf von Alvensleben (1803–1889) and Pauline von der Schulenburg (1810–1882) from Priemern, she lived - unmarried - at first on her parents' estate Erxleben I and ran the household there - until she became abbess in 1893 of the monastery Stift zum Heiligengrabe was chosen.
