Just found out that the full name of 'our' new 108 year old is Caecilia Theodora Steens-Hermsen, born 26 November 1914.
On her 100th birthday, the mayor of Nijmegen visited her. After that, she would not have any official visits or any publicity on her birthdays.
In June 2021, she moved from Nijmegen to the municipality of Berg en Dal.
Marie Wesselink of Tubbergen, Overijssel, Netherlands celebrated her 107th birthday. She was born on 1 December 1915 (probably in Albergen, Overijssel, Netherlands).

There are two possibilities to find out:
1: Contacting the municipality of Rotterdam (which probably wouldn't be a success due to strict Dutch privacy laws).
2: Waiting until Statistics Netherlands releases the information of all the centenarians in Rotterdam on 1 January 2023.
Mrs. Smaal from Capelle aan den IJssel, South Holland, Netherlands celebrated her 108th birthday. She was born on 5 January 1915.

@charlesm09 I think JimJim is saying that they’ll soon release statistics about the status of the centenarian population on January 1, 2023.
@930310 Exactly!

So far, I haven't seen any confirmation yet from either Gert Jan or Sipke, let alone from news reports: source.
Unfortunately, i don't know if she reached her 110th birthday.

Did she pass away in 2022?

Two remarks:
1. This is how these people are really known:
2. There's also an Iranian woman (most likely) living in Haarlem, born around 15 September 1914; she'd actually be in 10th place (seeing you've also added the Chinese immigrant).
Overduidelijk misschien.
