Hallo. Sie sehen Interview Project Germany.
Heute treffen wir Lilli.
Lilli feierte kürzlich ihren 90. Geburtstag.
Viel Spaß beim Interview.
I’m Lilli Meyer, I’m 90 years old and I live in Friedrichshafen.
I was …
I was born in Nürnberg. My parents, yes, my father was
a sales clerk and my mother was a housewife.
I went to school in Nürnberg and then I apprenticed
as a kindergarten teacher.
Well, I was very much a desired child because I took eight years.
So I wasn’t born until eight years of marriage.
And I’ve had it very good, in fact.
The only thing was we lived in a neighborhood where
there were very few children. So that was …
Bad for me. I never met children
until I went to school.
And …
Actually we had …
We were, let’s say, bad children.
We’ve ragged at school, picked on our teachers. And …
And we actually only learned what we wanted to.
So if three of us were able to solve a math problem
in the test then the whole class got it right.
And …
So, we found school rather pleasant.
I’ve got married, but that was …
I was already 38 years old, then.
So I was 38 when I had my daughter, yes.
And then I was married for 30 years,
in Augsburg, until my husband died.
And then in Friedrichshafen I had …
My daughter had my only grandchild.
And I wanted to see it grow up.
So, I took an apartment here.
And I was quite satisfied. And I like it here.
Yes, I had my 90th birthday two days ago.
And I’ve celebrated it together with 19 friends here.
And now it is turn for eight or 10 in München.
I’ll go there because it is easier for me to go to München
than it is for them to come to Friedrichshafen.
And I hope that it will be just as pleasant and nice
as the celebration in Friedrichshafen. I have …
I have celebrated it in a nursing home and it was arranged
here very nicely in fact. The service was good. So …
It was at the Wilhelm-Maybach-Stift and
I can only recommend it. Yes.
