Biography
Cristina Louise was born in the family of Albrecht Ernst I of Ettingen-Ettingen (1642–1683), who received the title of imperial prince in 1674, and his wife, Duchess Christina Frederic of Württemberg (1644–1674).
On April 22, 1690, in Aurich, the princess was married to Prince Ludwig Rudolf Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel . Their residence was located in Blankenburg , which was granted to Ludwig Rudolph as an outpost by his father, Anton Ulrich . In 1707, the county of Blankenburg received the status of a princedom from the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I.

Ludwig Rudolph and Christian Louise did not skimp on the maintenance of the Blankenburg court, Christina Louise had a great influence on her husband in political and administrative matters. In honor of her, Mount Calvinusberg in 1728 was built a country house.
