Life
-b.jpg)
Schwarzenberg came from a Frankish and Bohemian noble family. Her parents were the Bavarian state court master Christoph zu Schwarzenberg and Eva von Montfort .
She was elected abbess on June 1, 1556. The course of her term of office is characterized by a tense relationship between the monastery and the Bishop of Constance. So she got into a dispute over the payment of the annates or the rights of the bishop over the clergy of the monastery, in the occupation of the individual parishes.
Construction activity
- Partial rebuilding of the abbey, 1582
- Plankentalkapelle in Kappel
An epitaph attached to the third pillar of the collegiate church of St. Cornelius and Cyprianus , which reminded of Abbess Jacoba, was smashed during the redesign of the collegiate church in 1939/40. The remaining fragments could be walled into the outer face of the aisle in 1949.
She died in 1594.
