Christina von Brühl managed the manor during her husband's absence. At the same time, she designed the landscape park in the Seifersdorf valley. She sang, played the lute and theatre, organized theater and music events and was a writer. Christina von Brühl cultivated friendships and acquaintances with numerous artists and thinkers of her time through extensive correspondence. Between 1771 and 1790, the family residence, the manager's house of the Seifersdorf manor, was frequented by the bourgeois elite and artists from Dresden, Weimar and Berlin, including Christoph Martin Wieland, Christian Gottfried Körner, Jean Paul, Caspar David Friedrich, Elisa von der Recke, Friedrich Schiller, Johann Gottfried Herder and Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock. The painters Josef Friedrich August Darbes, Janus Genelli and Bonaventura Genelli and Friedrich Adams were also guests, as was Gottfried Schadow.[3] In the 1790s, Anton Graff portrayed Christina, Hanns Moritz and their son Carl. All three paintings are now in the Dresden State Art Collections, as are portraits by Josef Friedrich August Darbes.

The Weimar and Karlsbad circles around Johann Wolfgang von Goethe were particularly close to the von Brühl couple.[1] A return visit by the von Brühl family to the Weimar court took place in 1785, for example.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe taught mineralogy to her son Carl von Brühl, who was interested in music, painting and natural sciences. Johann Gottfried Herder and Christoph Martin Wieland were also among his teachers.[4]

Christina von Brühl spent the last years of her life in Berlin, where she died in 1816 at the age of 60.[1]

Christina von Brühl was buried in the crypt of the Seifersdorf church next to her husband Hanns Moritz von Brühl.

The Seifersdorf Valley Landscape Park, one of the earliest landscape gardens in Germany, was designed by Christina von Brühl over a period of several decades from 1781. Most of the garden scenes were created by 1791. Christina von Brühl, daughter-in-law of the Saxon Prime Minister Heinrich Graf von Brühl and mother of Carl Graf von Brühl, general director of the theaters and museums in Berlin, lived with her family near the valley in Seifersdorf Castle or in the administrator's house of Seifersdorf Castle.
