Katherina von Gebersweiler

Convent at Underlinden, Alsace, now Colmar France

d. 1330

Due to the nature of the sister-book, little is known about Katherina. The only information stems from the prologue and explicit to the Vitae sororum: she wrote the sister-book in her old age, and entered the monastery at a young age.
