Congratulations on your 100th birthday!
Liska Gebhardt celebrates her "round" birthday on 5 March 2014
Liska Gebhardt will turn 100 on 5 March 2014. A representative of the Mayor's Office will be wishing her a happy birthday at 2 p.m. at Theodor-Gampe-Straße 56 in 09127 Chemnitz.
Even though Liska Gebhardt is looking forward to the numerous well-wishers today - the real celebration will only take place next weekend, as she wants to have the whole family around her for this special occasion. And that's not so easy, because in addition to son Manfred and daughter Petra, there are now four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Family cohesion has always been important to her. She has lived in Chemnitz since she was 17 years old. Her two children were born here and she got the family through the war and the difficult post-war years. In addition to her various professional activities, she knitted and sewed for the whole family over the years and even looked after the physical well-being of her loved ones and cooked for them until she was 99 years old.
Now it's the other way round. Liska Gebhardt has been living with her daughter for a year now and is very happy about it. Here she is well looked after by her family and the outpatient care service. The lively contact with her little great-granddaughter in particular is a real elixir of life for the senior citizen.
She has also passed on her beloved sewing machine to her granddaughter in Bonn in the hope that it will continue to serve her just as well for many years to come.
