Maria Crescentia Höss was an 18th-century Franciscan nun of the Third Order Regular who lived in Kaufbeuren, Germany. Born Anna Höss in 1682, she initially worked as a weaver but eventually entered her local monastery after the town mayor intervened to assist with her dowry. Despite facing significant hardship and mistreatment from her fellow sisters during her early years in the convent, she eventually rose to leadership. She served as the mother superior of her community until her death in 1744, during which time she focused on spiritual renewal.
