A long and fulfilling life ended peacefully and surrounded by her beloved family.

Edith Auer from Erding has died at the age of 93.

Erding - The family name has a ring in Erding - through the successful building materials company that her son Max runs today.

The next generation is already in operation with Eva-Maria Auer.

Edith Auer was born in Erding on January 5, 1929 – as the third of five children.

Her parents were Rosina and Carl Selmaier.

The grandparents Maria and Jacob Festl ran a restaurant on Langezeile, Edith's family lived on the first floor.

At the age of ten, Edith Auer witnessed the beginning of the Second World War.

Afterwards she often told how she had to watch from the living room window how the bombs fell on her hometown and the smoke rolled through the Langezeile.

She graduated from high school and went to England and Switzerland as an au pair.

She met her husband Max, who died in December 2015, while working in the fields.

The engagement period was to last ten years, and before the marriage certificate came the couple's hunting license, which finally tied the knot at Christmas 1957.

The family grew rapidly, after seven years the Auers already had five children.

Edith and Max Auer had to say goodbye to one in 1966 – one of their sons died in an accident.

Hunting remained the great passion of the Auers.

Every Sunday was used to set off towards Langenpreising with the four children and several dogs - to feed the deer, work the wild fields, visit farmers and go for walks in the forest.

For Edith Auer it was never-ending pleasure.

Her motto was: "We don't need a holiday, we go hunting." Holidays were of course still taken - within Germany, but also to France, Sweden and England.

The hunting successes ended up in the kitchen, Edith Auer was a gifted cook.

So there was often roast wild boar, saddle of hare, leg of venison, wild duck breast and stuffed pigeons.

When the children grew up, Edith Auer became a passionate sheep breeder.

Her herdbook breeding grew to 300 Merino sheep.

Edith Auer enjoyed life in nature.

She retained her enthusiasm for her until her death.

When the sun was shining, she really blossomed.

In spring she was one of the first to open the bathing season.

In the Notzinger Weiher, in the Kronthaler Weiher, but also on the Fraueninsel in the Chiemsee, which she knew from wartime.
