So I had a wrong feeling about Ms. Platter... It is too sublime...

Now she is the oldest North-Tyrolean woman ever. She was born in the district of Reutte (Tyrol) which has got 37 municipalities. I don´t know in which village she was born exactly.

By the way, the town hall of Zirl didn´t answer my request whether she is still alive. A predictable practice.

Could one tell me the source that Ms. Platter is really living? Thanks in advance. 

@stoa-oid @Georg is the source ...

Ms. Strohrigel celebrated her 107th birthday on August 18:

Top 10 Oldest Living People in Austria (as of 28th August 2023)
Today's update (RIP Ms. Platter; Ms. Strohrigel turned 107)

1. Margarete Tröstl (Schrems, Lower Austria) (b. 26 February 1911), 112 y.o.
2. Josefa Kogoj (Vienna, Vienna) (b. 20 October 1913), 109 y.o. 
3. Anna Wagner (Euratsfeld, Lower Austria) (b. 6 June 1914), 109 y.o.
4? Elsa Graf (b. 9 February 1915), 108 y.o.
5. Emma Wenda (Vienna, Vienna) (b. 7 July 1915), 108 y.o.
6. Friederike Stranzinger (Stadl-Paura, Upper Austria) (b. 13 December 1915), 107 y.o.
7. Herma Leitner (Purkersdorf-Gablitz, Lower Austria) (b. 22 June 1916), 107 y.o.

10. Anna Riha (Linz, Upper Austria) (b. 7 June 1917), 106 y.o.

It is very terrifying to see how less very old people we do have in Austria today. A disillusioning development.

As an adept of the Austrian healthsystem I have to confess that the situation will probably not get much better, but we won´t give up hope.

One of my favorite maxims for you all:

Dum spiro spero.

Dum spero amo.

Dum amo vivo.

(Marcus Tullius Cicero)

Ms. Herdt turned 106:

From Georg:

Ruth Rothschädl (* Oct. 25th 1917) and Anna Riha (*07th June 1917) are alive (as of Sept. 18th 2023). That´s the info I got.

Ms. Anna Calovi (b. on 23 December 1915 in Hard, Voralberg, Austria, living in Italy):

She is, as of today. the 5th Oldest Living known Person born in Austria.

Ale, thank you so much that we could learn about Ms. Calovi and Ms. Tschernig. I didn´t know them.

Living in bella Italia is a great recipe getting very old.

She is, as of today, the 6th Oldest Living known person born in Austria.

Mr. Josef Peer (Austria's Doyen) has celebrated his 106th birthday:

Ms. Margarete Tröstl was alive April 1 2024 for sure.

And it is very very likely that she is alive as of today.

Today's update (Ms. Wagner turned 11; Ms. Graf turned 109; anonymous woman born in 1915 and anonymous man born in 1915 being the oldest Austrian man)

1. Margarete Tröstl (Schrems, Lower Austria) (b. 26 February 1911), 113 y.o.

2. Josefa Kogoj (Vienna, Vienna) (b. 20 October 1913), 110 y.o. 

3. Anna Wagner (Euratsfeld, Lower Austria) (b. 6 June 1914), 110 y.o.

4? Elsa Graf (b. 9 February 1915), 109 y.o.

5? Emma Wenda (Vienna, Vienna) (b. 7 July 1915), 108 y.o.

6? Friederike Stranzinger (Stadl-Paura, Upper Austria) (b. 13 December 1915), 108 y.o.

7? Anonymous (b. 1915), 108/109 y. o.

8? Anonymous (b. 1915), 108/109 y. o.

9. Herma Leitner (Purkersdorf-Gablitz, Lower Austria) (b. 22 June 1916), 107 y.o.

10. Erika Strohrigel (Hartberg, Styria) (b. 18 August 1916), 107 y.o.

At the moment nobody can say who is number 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8...

The oldest Austrian man is not Mr. Peer (106).

It is an anonymous man born in 1915!

Sorry, Ale, it don´t want to disturb your fantastic job in creating these good lists... I could not wait;-)

Margarete Tröstl is 113, not 112 and Anna Riha is 107, not 106.

Please note my edit above.

There are two new anonymous woman born in 1915. Not one.

Remarkable is that she was widowed since 1943. Her husband lost his life in WWII. They had one son.

PS Good find, F.
