I am trying to find out whether Ms. Berta Platter is still alive. Yesterday I sent an e-mail to a person who should know it.

If alive, she would be the oldest woman ever in North-Tyrol. My gut feeling says unfortunately rather no...

2. Josefa Kogoj (Vienna, Vienna) (b. 20 October 1913), 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), 107 y.o.

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

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:

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.
