“Don't write so much!” Asks Hedwig Kob and laughs.

Hedwig Kob
"I'm 100 years old, what should I still be afraid of?" Hedwig Kob says this sentence loudly and happily, with a laugh.
If you want to feel the joie de vivre, talk to her.
In the middle of it all she says that she sometimes thinks with a look at the sky: “What's going on up there, you still don't have a place for me?” The 100-year-old laughs again, then she calls out: “Hurray, I'm alive still! ”And how!
If there is no Corona, Hedwig Kob goes to the sitting dance group for seniors, for decades she has been hiking almost every weekend - that is no longer possible with a walker.
"The only thing I regret," says the Landsham woman.
But otherwise?
Enjoyment of life.
Joie de vivre at 100 years
Her husband died early and there are no children.
“I've experienced a lot and was always alone,” she says.
“When things stopped going on and I was down, I said to myself: 'Hedwig, pull yourself together, you have to get through it!'” And something else: “Lord God, help me, you are the only one there is. ”She still says all that to herself today -“ and that's how I turned 100 ”.
Landlady in the "Green Corner" in Schwabing
Born in Upper Silesia, Hedwig Kob has lived in Landsham since 1969.
One stop in her long life was the “Zum Grünen Eck” inn on Marktstrasse in Munich-Schwabing, a stone's throw from Münchner Freiheit.
“A workers' bar,” as she says.
In the 1950s and 60s she was the landlady, initially together with her husband, after his death alone.
Alone among men.
"I was always full," says Hedwig Kob.
The regular customers took care of her, the landlady was inviolable.
In the past hiking, today sitting dancing
After that she worked in a canteen and retired when she was 60.
The last 40 years?
Hiking, being active and “just muddling around”, as she puts it.
“I make the best of what comes up every day.” For his birthday, Mayor Roland Frick came to Hedwig Kob's birthday with Angelika Diefenthaler, senior officer of the local council.
Later two of her nephews.
“Oh, that was nice,” enthuses the 100-year-old.
