Biography

Christine Hoscheid was born on 16 February 1907 in Germany as the first of four children born to her parents. Her father was a driver and her mother a housekeeper. In the Nazi era, she worked in a launderette and had several conflicts with the owner, which were always settled in court. She never married nor had children.

During an attack on the city, Christine’s father was killed. Christine’s brother died during World War 2.

Since 2016, she has been wheelchair-bound, and doesn't like it very much. She still exercises her arms regularly.
