Thuringian great-grandma Nina celebrates her 100th great-grandchild Levi in the family home!
Nina Dück's 100th great-grandchild was recently born in Thuringia. Levi was born on June 4, 2025 at the SRH Wald-Klinikum Gera and weighed an impressive 3,770 grams. The 86-year-old great-grandmother, who moved to Germany from Kazakhstan a few weeks ago, held her 100th great-grandchild in her arms for the first time and beamed with joy when the news became public. The hospital management shared this heartfelt moment via Facebook, which generated a lot of positive response from the local community. Thuringia24 reports on this fascinating family milestone.
Nina Dück, who proudly has a total of eight children, 53 grandchildren and now 100 great-grandchildren, lives in a special multi-generational house in Ronneburg. Four generations are united there under one roof: great-grandmother Nina, her daughter Elena Rhein, granddaughter Evelina Penner and the newest generation. Evelina, who is already the mother of six children, gave birth to Levi and is actively supported by her husband Willi. The family has an eventful history that dates back to 1890, when they emigrated from Prussia. The route led from Ukraine via Siberia and Kazakhstan to Germany. Picture tells the background of this interesting family history in detail.
Migration and family life
Elena Rhein, Nina's daughter, came to Germany in 1990. Their commitment and the family's history illustrate the challenges and opportunities associated with migration. According to the BAMF's current migration report, 24.9 million people with a migrant background lived in Germany in 2023, which corresponds to 29.7 percent of the population. Around 42.9 percent of them are foreigners with their own migration experience. These figures impressively show how diverse and colorful life in Germany has become, especially due to the influence of people who have their roots in distant countries. BAMF offers interesting insights on this topic.
Even though they have only lived in Germany for a relatively short time, Nina's family and many others play an important role in shaping society. Her story shows that roots and new beginnings can go hand in hand. In a quarter of families, several generations now live together, which promotes cohesion and support within the family.
“It’s very lucky to have this family,”says Nina Dück proudly as she looks at her little Levi with a smile. Family life is of great importance to them. This love and tradition will certainly be passed on to the next generation.
