Johanna Klink (17 January 1903 – 20 February 2015) was a German supercentenarian, who has been the oldest living person in Germany since the death of Frieda Szwillus on 21 September 2014.[2]
Biography
She was born on 17 January 1903 in Siemianowitz-Laurahütte, Silesia, Germany (now Siemianowice Śląskie, Silesia Voivodeship, Poland) as one of four sisters. The youngest sister of Klink died aged 98 in 2005 and another one, Maria Gebel, born 19 November 1906 near Rybnik, died shortly before Klink's 109th birth at age 105 as Soltaus oldest citizen.[3]
Although Klink has married three times she gave birth to only one daughter called Helga around 1938, who is still alive. In 1945 she and her family flew to Oschatz where Mrs. Klink is living in a nursing home since 2004. She is in a good physical and mental shape. At age 102 she broke her hip but recovered very fast and was able to walk with an aid again. On her 111th birthday she claimed to become 112. After she became Germany's oldest living person she was kidding to feel like being around age 60, when she was pensioned. Klink attributes her longevity to solid plain fare, especially butter and drops of grease in her soup.[4][5][6][7]
Johanna Klink died on 20 February 2015 at age 112 years and 34 days, being the 5th oldest living person in Germany ever.[8]
