“For twelve years she had a beautiful life.
Your Liese was often filled with irrepressible joy, you will remember her loud and funky.”
Freudenberg - Only the family and close companions had come together in the rather small church, outside the police shielded the area from a large area.
Classmates met at the same time in the auditorium of their school and in the schoolyard.
An audio broadcast of the service could be heard there.
Many Freudenberger citizens had also come there.
Luise's death changed everything for her family and friends.
“We would have loved to have accompanied them into the future, would have been excited about class trips, meeting their first boyfriend, choosing a career and maybe starting a family.
All of this is now over before it began.”
The violent death of the twelve-year-old on March 11 shocked many people in Freudenberg near Siegen.
