A short documentary on her life, Herthilde Gabloner/Maria Gardena: La donna che visse due volte (Herthilde Gabloner/Maria Gardena: The Woman Who Lived Twice) by Franco Delli Guanti and Ludovico Maillet was screened at the 36th Bolzano Film Festival Bozen in 2023.[1] The 2005 short documentary, Architette. Racconti di vita e di lavoro di tre pioniere dell'architettura (Women Architects: Stories of the Lives and Work of Three Architectural Pioneers) by Lorenzo Paccagnella, told the life stories of Gabloner, Jolanda Zamolo Dalla Bona, and Helga Ehall-Hofer.[2]

Gabloner published her autobiography Chi tira i fili? Racconto autobiografico di Hertlinde Gabloner, in arte Maria Gardenia (Who's Pulling the Strings? An Autobiographical Story by Hertlinde Gabloner, a.k.a. Maria Gardenia) in 2004.[3] She died on March 3, 2008, in Ritten, Italy.[4]
