Her father, and later brothers, owned the Hirschen Inn in Altenschwand, pictured below.

On the left is the church in Rickenbach where Christina was baptized and probably confirmed. On the right is a picture of the Hirschen Inn, outside, as it was in August 2004. Click this thumbnail to enlarge.

She probably went to school in Altenschwand. Here is a picture of the schoolhouse there as it was at the beginning of the 20th century.
Here are two pictures of the same schoolhouse but taken in 2004. The second floor and attic are now rented out as an apartment. The first floor is now used by the local music society.

Christina died on 09 June 1909, probably in southern Baden.
