In Bad Hall, Austria, four women. Margaretha Citroni, Maria Geiblinger, Josefa Bresenhuber, and Emma Zachhuber, aged 100 to 101, shared their experiences and perspectives on reaching a very old age.
The women collectively have 402 years of life experience. They all began life as Austria introduced the Schilling in 1925 and were nearly 20 years old at the end of World War II in 1945.
Citroni and Geiblinger established families in the Traunviertel region, while Bresenhuber and Zachhuber were displaced from their homes in Romania and the Bohemian Forest after the war and resettled in Austria. The four women now live in the Caritas-Seniorenwohnhaus Schloss Hall and value visits from their families. When reflecting on their childhoods, the women described lives filled with hard work and large families.
Asked for their advice on living a long life, all four agreed on the importance of living “anständig und treu”, decently and faithfully, and working hard.
