Mügel celebrates 100 years of joie de vivre: Elfriede Schroth in the center!

The increasing number of durable people in Germany, especially in the cities of Oschatz, Mügelen and Torgau, is a remarkable trend. More and more people are reaching the respectable age of 100 years. This milestone is of great importance for both the data subjects and the communities.

In the city of Mügeln, for example, 100-year-old Elfriede Schroth was recently celebrated. Originally from Laas and previously living in Riesa, she only moved to mud a year ago after her nursing home was closed. Her celebration took place in the Saxony-West (AWO) workers' center. Despite her advanced hearing problems, she radiates joie de vivre and humor, which she demonstrated in congratulations from the Mayor Johannes Ecke.

Oschatz as a pioneer

compared to the modest number of hundred year olds in Mügeln, Oschatz stands out significantly. Here eight people have already been over 100 years old, including a man. This corresponds to a significantly higher percentage of 0.057 percent of the total population of around 14,100 inhabitants. The oldest citizens Oschatz ', born in 1921, experienced a number of historical events such as two world wars and many social changes.

Torgau, a city with around 19,000 inhabitants, is less in the spotlight. With only two people who have exceeded 100 years, she represents a small minority of older people compared to Oschatz and Mügeln. This clarifies that the achievement of such a high age is still more of an exception than the rule.

The information about the age pyramid in Saxony shows that the hundred -year -old trend goes beyond the restaurant. According to the last statistics, 221 men and 1066 women lived all over Saxony at the end of 2022.

The increase to a hundred year olds is not only recorded in Saxony. Nationwide, the number of people over 100 years has almost doubled in recent years. While 14,436 people still lived in this age group in 2011, the statistics counted 26,615 last year. This increase indicates a profound demographic change that may find further attention in the coming years.
