[5] According to The Franciscan Book of Saints, edited by Marion A. Habig, "in the married state she was more intent upon virtue and the fear of God than upon worldly honor”.

[2] Hagiographer Robert Ellsberg called their marriage "happy",[6] although at first, Jutta's piety displeased her husband, but he eventually came to value it and they raised their children in the Christian faith.

[2] In 1260,[2][3] she "enclosed herself"[5] in the forest near Kulmsee (modern-day Chełmża, a town in north-central Poland), where she was "sheltered"[5] in a cell attached to a church by the Teutonic Order, whose Grand Master, Anno von Sangerhausen, was her relative.

[4][5] According to scholar Michelle Sauer, Jutta's life "bore surprising resemblance" to Dorothy of Montau, another Prussian anchoress who lived later, during the 14th century.

[5] Jutta is represented in a grey habit with long sleeves, with a black strap or chord tied around her waist and neck, and is often depicted alongside Dorothea of Montau.

[3] As Sauer put it, "Jutta claimed only three things could result in a close personal relationship with God: painful sickness, exile from home, and voluntary poverty".
