She was the daughter of Johann Magenbuch, the personal physician of Martin Luther and Emperor Charles V. She was appointed scientific adviser to the duchess of Württemberg, Sibylla of Anhalt. She was awarded the title Pharmacist of the Württemberg court. This was a very uncommon position for a woman in this time period. She was succeeded by another woman, Maria Andreae.
