In 1946, after being expelled to Germany, she ended up in Nordenham (Lower Saxony), near the mouth of the Weser river to the North Sea, and later, in 1951, in the Allgäu region.

He was also a composer, creating choral works, including Beautiful Fisherwoman (with text by Heinrich Heine), several liturgical songs, and a grand mass with orchestral accompaniment.

Thirty years later, these memories inspired her book Durch Lücken im Zaun (Through Gaps in the Fence), written from the perspective of the child she was then, an eight-year-old.

[2] For many years, the writer has maintained close contact with her former homeland and its current residents, participating in numerous author, academic, and regional meetings.

[2] Professor Edward Białek [pl] from the Institute of Germanic Philology at the University of Wrocław believes that Monika Taubitz has transitioned from focusing on the loss of her homeland due to the so-called "expulsion" to accepting reality and forming close, friendly relations with many Polish residents of Lower Silesia and Kłodzko Land.

[6] Her work as the chairwoman of Wangener Kreis has changed not only perceptions of Poland but also the consciousness of a generation of German writers and poets originating from Silesia.
