Being still a <a href="/wiki/Benedictine" class="mw-redirect" title="Benedictine">Benedictine</a> abbey, the noble women had a free life. Extensive lands with many subjects and people were entrusted to Katharina von Zimmern, supported by the management of an experienced staff, but the main responsibility laid with Katharina. She had all the rights to act, to buy and sell goods, as well the old prerogative of mercy in the city and the right to elect the mayor, even to grant pardons on death sentences. Katharina von Zimmern reorganized the finances of the abbey, tried to regain the old comprehensive right of coinage of the city, and was very active in construction and art.<sup id="cite_ref-katharina_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-katharina-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>She led the construction of the abbey buildings, which existed until 1898, as well as the interior painting of the former Maria chappel in the Fraumünster cathedral, a church bell with humanistic inscriptions.

Unlike her predecessors, she led the abbey successfully and with tact and discretion. In 1503 four young noble women entered the convent, so that their number was increased to seven. The abbey also included a school which was rebuilt under Katharina. Although the abbesses in the late Middle Ages largely had lost political influence, Katharina was still nominally the city mistress of Zürich and thus the first representative of the city, i.e. all official guests were first greeted by her.<sup id="cite_ref-katharina_1-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-katharina-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> As <i>Reichsfürstin</i> (imperial princess) the abbess was in the <a href="/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire" title="Holy Roman Empire">Holy Roman Empire</a> part of a strictly limited group of about 100 people who were in the hierarchy directly below the <a href="/wiki/Kurf%C3%BCrst" class="mw-redirect" title="Kurfürst">Kurfürst</a>'s.<sup id="cite_ref-stadtzürich_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-stadtzürich-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Between 1505 and 1508 she constructed a new wing in which she adorned the corridors and chambers with mottos and over one door the coats or arms of her parents were placed.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Living in transition times, Katharina von Zimmern allowed <a href="/wiki/Oswald_Myconius" title="Oswald Myconius">Oswald Myconius</a>, a close friend of Zwingli, to teach Latin to the women at the cathedral school . In January 1519 Ulrich Zwingli began at the <a href="/wiki/Grossm%C3%BCnster" title="Grossmünster">Grossmünster</a> church to put the Gospel into the center of the mass and to translate the Bible into the German language. Zwingli wrote about Katharina von Zimmern: "She belongs to the party of Christ and does not refuse any Support to me." In 1523, the <a href="/wiki/Reformation_in_Z%C3%BCrich" title="Reformation in Zürich">Reformation</a> events themselves came headlong into the city of Zürich.

In the adjacent <a href="/wiki/Dominican_Order" title="Dominican Order">Dominican</a> convent, the city council gave permission to close the monasteries. Most of the women left the Fraumünster Abbey, and the four remaining noble women of the convent went back to their families. Katharina remained with her assistant alone in the monastery and, without a monastic community in the midst of a reformed city, it was impossible to continue a monastery life corresponding to the Benedictine rules.<sup id="cite_ref-katharina_1-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-katharina-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>On 8 December 1524, on the feast of the <a href="/wiki/Immaculate_Conception" title="Immaculate Conception">Immaculate Conception</a>, Katharina von Zimmern passed the abbey into the possession of the <a href="/wiki/Reformation_in_Z%C3%BCrich" title="Reformation in Zürich">city of Zürich</a>. Two documents attest to this serious act: The waiver of 30 November and the transfer deed dated 8 December. The transfer deed, drawn up on parchment, with all assets and rights certified by Katharina von Zimmern, confirmed the transfer of the abbey to the city. Katharina assessed the political circumstances and current events properly, but stressed that they are free and self-determined, a conscience decision. A few days after the waiver, Zürich disbanded all other monasteries and took their goods. This became possible only after the abbess had agreed to the peaceful implementation of the Reformation in the city of Zurich.<sup id="cite_ref-katharina_1-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-katharina-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Late_years">Late years</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Katharina_von_Zimmern&amp;action=edit&amp;section=3" title="Edit section: Late years"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1524 Katharina von Zimmern was 46 years old, and her still Roman Catholic family had broken with her. She was included in the citizenship of the city of Zurich, retained the right of residence in the Abbey and received from the city a decent pension. But Katharina began again a new life: a few months after the surrender of the abbey, she married Eberhard von Reischach and gave birth, despite their advanced age, to two children, a daughter and a son who died early. Zwingli describes in a letter to Katharina Vadian the major concern to the family. Eberhard von Reischach was the member of an impoverished noble family from <a href="/wiki/Hegau" title="Hegau">Hegau</a>, was 15 years older than Katharina, and was in the service of the Duke of Württemberg. As a mercenary leader, he had fought in the <a href="/wiki/Swabian_War" title="Swabian War">Swabian War</a> in 1499 for Zürich and thus acquired the citizenship of the city in 1500. He was married with Verena Göldli with whom he had four children, and had to leave Zurich.
