[1] Catherine was considered extremely frugal and thrifty, and she actively supported her husband.

She had so-called "wild garden" in a suburb of Küstrin and other goods in Schaumburg, Drew and her favorite seat Dębno, a gift from her husband.

Catherine settled Dutch religious refugees in Dębno, which started a vibrant cloth-making industry.

She founded the first pharmacy in Ośno Lubuskie and built another in Küstrin from which she provided the poor with free medicine.

Catherine built numerous farms and dairies, which she administered herself and she also sold the harvest herself.
