Life

Sabina Catharina was the eldest child of Enno III. (Haus Cirksena ) and his first wife Walburgis born in Esens. She was baptized there on October 7th of that year. In the Berumer comparison on January 28, 1600, the legacy of Enno III. divided between Sabina Catharina and her sister Agnes, because her father wanted to remarry. Sabina Catharina was awarded the county.

Sabina Catharina married her uncle Johann III in 1601 . The necessary papal dispensation was granted on April 13, 1600. A marriage contract was signed on March 3, 1601, and the following day Abbot Leonhard Ruben von Abdinghof concluded the Tridentine rite in the Rietberg Castle Chapel. Before the wedding, the couple converted to Catholicism and reintroduced it into the county.

In 1618 the couple laid the foundation stone for the Franciscan monastery in Rietberg. In 1629 the foundation charter of the monastery was issued.

Sabina Catharina died on May 31, 1618 giving birth to her eleventh child. The coffin was buried in the castle chapel and locked by two Dutch masons.
