She used her inheritance to fund the Convent of the Celestial Throne, a Cistercian monastery in Nuremberg, where she later entered into service as the abbess.

[2] In German folklore Kunigunde has been associated with the ghost story of the Weiße Frauen of Hohenzollern.

[3] According to legend, Kunigunde fell in love with Albrecht the Fair, a son of Frederick IV, Burgrave of Nuremberg.

Kunigunde mistook his message and thought the eyes referred to her two children, a son and a daughter.

Some versions state that she was sentenced to life in prison for murder and others that she died of exhaustion while on pilgrimage.
