Stefanie Kahl, a resident of Michelstadt, Hesse, Germany, passed away on 19 February, at the age of 110 years, 296 days.
Kahl was born in Brandenburg, Germany, on 29 April 1915, the daughter of a veterinarian. She later studied textile design at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts. However, due to World War II and the subsequent years of reconstruction in East Germany, she was unable to pursue a professional career.
After fleeing East Germany in 1956 and settling in Frankfurt am Main—losing all her belongings in the process—her primary focus became raising and educating her three children. Her husband, architect Albert Kahl, supported the family as a regional specialist in rural construction. She was widowed in 1991.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Stefanie Kahl during this difficult time
