The 30-year-old is keeping coy on whether this will be her final season sliding. But if she's going out, she's going out at the top.
She led home a German sweep of the podium on their home track in Konigssee, her fifth World Cup win in eight races this season.
Dajana Eitberger, second in the World Cup rankings, took silver while young German Jessica Tiebel, competing because world champion Tatjana Huefner sat out the competition due to injury, claimed her major podium.
Switzerland's Martina Kocher was just outside the medals while American Summer Britcher ranked fifth.
It was a second German 1-2-3, following a similar result in the men's doubles earlier in the day.
