@ale76 Ruhe in Frieden, Frau Blohm. The article says she was the 2nd-oldest, meaning Erna Brosig and Hildegard Rau likely also passed away in 2023.
Interested in supercentenarians since 27 July 2018.
First supercentenarian I learned about: Kane Tanaka (1903-2022)

Rest in peace, Mrs. Gertrud Blohm.
Are we sure that Erna Brosig and Hildegard Rau have passed away or is it possible that the article was mistaken, as has previously been the case with the media.
Interested in supercentenarians since 2017.
Favourite supercentenarian: Kane Tanaka (1903-2022)
Favourite living supercentenarian: Juan Vicente Perez Mora (born 1909)

RIP Gertrud Blohm (1912-2023)
Remember that Brosig was validated on 27 November. Knowing the GRG that doesn't necessarily mean she was alive then but I can only presume her death would have been reported (unless it is a common thing in Germany for deaths to go unreported). We'll know in a few days if she is alive because her birthday has already been reported on for the last few years

Sorry once again, explaining why this is happening: when I put it was the person, the automatic translator already puts he, sorry, I'll try to remember next time
Thanks for letting me know about this error
