Oldest German dies at age 110

BERLIN, July 26 (UPI) -- Frieda Mueller, Germany's oldest living person, died at age 110 in a nursing home near Berlin, Deutsche Welle reported Tuesday.

She died in her sleep last Thursday, the report said.

Not much was known about Mueller by those who cared for her for the last decade. She reportedly slept a lot, spoke little, owned few possessions and had few visitors as she had apparently outlived almost all of those close to her.

A nephew said Mueller was born on October 18, 1894 in Potsdam and married a railroad employee, Wilhelm Mueller, in 1914. He died in 1958.

The woman liked listening to classical music. She aged well because her face was hardly wrinkled, members of the nursing home staff said.

The title of the oldest German now passes to 108-year-old Robert Meier, who lives in North Rhine-Westphalia.
