🕊 Rest in eternal peace, Ms. Margarete Tröstl, Doyenne of Austria (1911-2025). Farewell !
What a strong woman she was. She came so close to the Austrian record of Luise Pompe, which we thought wouldn't be matched for a long time. Margarete was also one of the last Austro-Hungarian citizens to have memories about the monarchy and WWI.
Ruhe in Frieden, Frau Tröstl.
