Hedwig was educated in the monastery of the Benedictines of Kitzingen and at the age of twelve he was married to the Duke of Silesia Heinrich I from the dynasty of the Silesian Piasts, who also became Duke of Poland in 1233. After 22 years of marriage, according to tradition, she lived celibately with her husband. Their marriage produced four sons and three daughters, including:

Henry II († 1241), Duke of Silesia
Conrad († 1235/37)
Gertrud, engaged to the Count Palatine Otto von Wittelsbach, after his death a nun in the Trebnitz monastery, later abbess.
