industrialist and family friend Count Franz Hubert von Tiele-Winckler from Moschen. Alexandra, together with her sisters and her mother Cornelia, temporary moved to Berlin to stay at the apartment of her Aunt Princess Josephine of Vasilchikov (née Countess Dyhrn), who was a widow.<ref>J. Harasimowicz: Adel in Schlesien I.</ref> In 1899 Cornelia Countess Dyhrn bought a smaller estate in Badewitz (district Leobschütz, now Głubczyce) in Upper Silesia at the Silesian border with Czech Republic, where she and her two younger daughters moved to, Alexandra on the other side bought a pleasant apartment in Breslau and began in 1900 with her studies at the Schlesische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland). Her professors war Jacob Freudenthal, Jacob Caro and Felix Dahn. After eight years she received her PhD as a historian and was therefore the first woman in Silesia with a doctorate from this subject. At that time she met Dr. Clara Immerwahr-Haber, later a good friend of her, who was the first woman with a doctorate in Chemistry in Silesia. She encouraged Alexandra for female emancipating ideas and feminism. Her husband was dr. Fritz Haber, who got the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1918. Alexandra joined the German Association for Women’s education and University studies and was a strong defender of female rights. In 1906 she also became a member of the Johanitter-Sisterhood, voluntarily working as a nurse in Breslau. Her two sisters joined the sisterhood as well. She worked at the University of Breslau as an assistant Professor, she was giving historical lectures in several German archives and devoted herself to genealogical researches. In 1924 her mother Cornelia died at her Castle Badewitz; Alexandra, with no desire of living in a castle, sold the property in 1925 to the Countess Hedwig von Luettichau. The two sisters Freda and Edith moved to Alexandra's apartment in Breslau. In the following years Alexandra dedicated herself to writing and publishing her historic genealogical works, she had many clients, but the family fortune was slipping through her fingers very fast as she –an unmarried feministic aristocrat– had to take care of her two disabled sisters and wanted to preserve a lifestyle the three of them were used to have. Before the World War II Countess Alexandra was the most prestigious and respected genealogist in Breslau, but the reputation she gained through her competence and work, did not help her a lot with her financial troubles.
