Judith of Hohenstaufen was a daughter of Duke Frederick II of Swabia and a half-sister of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. She was baptized as Judith, but was commonly called Jutta or Guta.
In 1150, Judith married Louis II, Landgrave of Thuringia.
They had the following children:
Louis III (1151–1190), succeeded her husband as Landgrave of Thuringia
Herman I (d. 1217), succeeded his brother as Landgrave of Thuringia
Henry Raspe III (c. 1155 – 18 July 1217), Count of Gudensberg
Frederick (c. 1155 – 1229), Count of Ziegenhain
Judith, married Herman II, Count of Ravensberg
Judith survived her husband and her eldest son Louis III. She died on 7 July 1191 and was buried in Reinhardsbrunn monastery, next to her husband.
Her name is still omnipresent in Weißensee, which shows how highly she was regarded during her lifetime.
Judith's grave stone was moved from Reinhardsbrunn to the choir of the St. George church in Eisenach. It was created in the 14th century, well after her death. It must have been installed after the fire of 1292.
