Katerina Lemmel
Katerina Lemmel, née Imhoff (born 1466 in Nuremberg; died March 28, 1533 in Maihingen; also ''Katharina Lemmel'', ''Katharina Lemlin'') was a successful patrician businesswoman in Nuremberg who became a Birgittine nun at the monastery of Maria Mai in Maihingen in Nördlinger Ries. A collection of letters〔Corine Schleif and Volker Schier (2009), ''Katerina’s Windows: Donation and Devotion, Art and Music, as Heard and Seen Through the Writings of a Birgittine Nun'', University Park: Penn State Press. ISBN 978-0-271-03369-3. Johann Kamann (1899-1000),“Briefe aus dem Brigittenkloster: Maihingen (Maria = Mai) im Ries 1516-1522,” ''Zeitschrift für Kulturgeschichte'' 6 (1899), 249-27, 385-410; 7 (1900), 170-99.〕 that she wrote from the monastery to her relatives in Nuremberg permits multifaceted insights into life in a late-medieval female monastery and into its system of spiritual economies.
== Years in Nuremberg ==
Katerina was born the third child of Paulus Imhoff and Ursula Holzschuher Imhoff.〔Corine Schleif and Volker Schier (2009), ''Katerina’s Windows'', 1-20.〕 Both her parents came from important patrician families. The Nuremberg patriciate formed the thin governing crust of the imperial city that consisted of about forty families. At the age of eighteen, Katerina Imhoff married the Bamberg patrician and businessman Michel Lemmel who soon took up Nuremberg citizenship.〔Corine Schleif and Volker Schier (2009), ''Katerina’s Windows'', 20-35.〕
In her years in Nuremberg, Katerina Lemmel became a successful businesswoman holding investments in profitable enterprises ranging from real estate and metal production to agriculture and viticulture. As a member of the Imhoff family she also participated as a silent partner in the family company that imported saffron, pepper, ginger, cinnamon and other more exotic spices from Mediterranean countries but also – through a joint venture with King Manuel I of Portugal – directly from India.〔Corine Schleif and Volker Schier (2009), ''Katerina’s Windows'', 35-39.〕 When Lemmel was fifty years old, her husband died, leaving her with two socially acceptable options: to remain in Nuremberg and marry into another successful patrician merchant family or to leave the world for a monastery and become a bride of Christ. Against the will of her family, Katerina Lemmel chose the latter and entered the monastery of Maria Mai in the year 1516.
