Jutta of Kulmsee (also called Judith and Otta.), was a German member of the Third Order of Saint Francis.
Life
Birth
Jutta was born in Sangerhausen, Germany, southwest of Eiseleben, to the noble family of Sangerhausen, who were related to the dukes of Brunswick.
Marriage and children
At the age of fifteen, Jutta married a nobleman with whom she had children. Her Christian neighbors reported witnessing her "raised high in the air in the fervor of her devotion”, like she was upheld by angels. She was called "the first Prussian anchoress". There are few records of Jutta's life because anchoritic life was unusual outside of southwest Germany, although her biography appears in the Acta Sanctorum.
