Wool, fabrics, buttons: for decades, Renate Kloschinski was the contact and advice center in her small Ingelsberg shop for everything that the handicraft heart desires.

Now she has died.

Ingelsberg

- Anyone who has ever been with Renate Kloschinski in her hidden country in Ingelsberg will never forget it.

Kindly and expertly advised, customers could even come with a request for a single button.

The cheerful owner found her way around the labyrinth of her business premises with a level of security that amazed outsiders - carefully sorted between narrow aisles and high shelves full of wool, fabrics, zippers, sewing needles and buttons.

Renate Kloschinski has now died with her family at the age of 81, after a serious illness.

In a previously designed newspaper advertisement, she thanked her "longstanding, loyal and dear customers".

Just her style.

She didn't want an obituary notice.

It was in the shop until four weeks before her death.

Kloschinski was born on January 19, 1940 as Renate Grothe in Hamm in Westphalia.

She grew up there and met her future husband Heinrich as a child.

The young woman loved nature, especially the Lüneburg Heath.

They married in 1964. The couple moved south to Zorneding in 1978.

Heinrich Kloschinski went into business for himself as a wine merchant and opened a shop in Eglharting.

Renate, a trained seamstress and nanny, set up her haberdashery shop in the same rooms.

“She was an independent and emancipated woman.

She was a role model for many, ”says Petra Schütz-Kloschinski.

You and Janine Schlammerl are the two daughters.

Haberdashery paradise in the cowshed

In later years, her husband died in 2002, besides the love for animals and the support of the animal welfare association, the haberdashery shop Kloschinski was the purpose of life.

After a stopover in Zorneding, she came to Ingelsberg.

The shop in a former cowshed had no shop window, just a small sign with the opening times next to the door.

She enjoyed working in the store alongside her retirement, talking to customers, passing on her experience and the many tips.

With over 70 years of age in the passenger seat, she also enjoyed helping her 17-year-old grandson Sebastian with the escorted drive in the car so that he and his friends could drive to the nearest burger joint.

Your family and the community will miss Renate Kloschinski.

The urn burial takes place in the family circle in Zorneding.
