When Paul Zweigart died in 1902, she ran the company for several years. In 1918 she was given an honourary citizenship by the town of Sindelfingen, where the company was based. This award was given to her as a result of her work for local families during the First World War (1914-1918) and in particular for doubling the allowance given to Sindelfingen families whose men were involved in the German war effort. The extra funding came from the Zweigart family’s estate. In addition, the Zweigarts built a memorial to the fallen in the local cemetery (inaugurated in 1921). There is still a children’s crèche in Sindelfingen named after her.
