Mina Hehn survived a severe Covid 19 illness over Christmas and celebrated her 109th birthday this Sunday in Stuttgart. Now she’s happier than ever.
“Yes, I’m a little fitter than on my last birthday,” says the old lady. This is also due to the fact that the “separation” is finally over. A year ago, her family could barely visit her in the care home during the lockdown. “One likes variety.”
While the relatives were only allowed to serenade her from the garden on her 108th birthday, this time she went to the café with her daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A heart-shaped cake was waiting there.
Going to the café wasn’t her soft spot before, she’s a very thrifty Swabian. “I preferred to stay at home, so you can drink as much coffee as you want.” Her biggest wish for her birthday would be to be back home. She lived alone in her apartment until she was 105. Only her daughter came by regularly to bring her food.
The fact that Hehn Corona survived Christmas is “almost a miracle,” says her daughter. Her mother, who had been vaccinated twice, was in quarantine for ten days. She had a high fever and aching limbs, and she no longer wanted to eat.

Because the doctor was worried that the 108-year-old wouldn’t survive, her grandson was allowed to help eat every evening – but only in a protective suit. But the nurses didn’t want to give up on Mina. It should not be that her oldest resident now dies of Covid, was the slogan.
And so Mina Hehn lives on. “I don’t want to die,” she says. “But it’s a must.”
