110 years old: Gerda Metze celebrates his birthday with political VIPs!

A very special anniversary was celebrated last Saturday. Gerda Metze, the oldest citizen of Thuringia, was allowed to celebrate her impressive 110th birthday. The celebration took place on a small scale in a restaurant, with her closest family. Among the well -wishers was the former Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow, who brought his best wishes to the sprightly jubilee. Ramelow had taken part in an unforgettable trip with Gerda four years ago when they visited the Merkers adventure mine.

It is inspiring to see how she takes walks every day with her daughter and masters everyday life with energy.
