Theresia Sturm from Salzburg is celebrating her 22nd birthday today – even though she is already a great-great-grandmother! Greta from the Innviertel is celebrating her special day for only the third time.
If I say that I will be 22 years old, no one will believe me,” laughs Theresia Sturm. In fact, the pensioner from Wals, born in 1936, can only celebrate her birthday, February 29, for the 22nd time. However, she doesn’t feel any younger because of her special birthday. This may also be because she already has fourteen grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren and now also a great-great boy. Today the cheerful elderly person is celebrating with her family at home in Wals, of course with cake and especially in a big way in the leap year.
Her neighbor, Rosemarie Eibl, is also celebrating her “real” birthday again after four years – for the 14th time! But she doesn’t want to be that young anymore. “Everything in its own time. “It’s good as it is,” she says. This year it’s a big party with the family. In other years the celebration takes place on March 1. “I wasn’t there yet on February 28,” says Eibl. Actually, all birthdays are the same, she thinks, but the 56-year-old sees one big advantage: “Almost no one forgets my birthday.” Almost everyone still remembers the special date.
This is only the third time that Greta Varadi has celebrated her birthday on the right date. She decided to throw a big party at her parents’ apartment. “I invited fifteen school colleagues. “My cake would have to be a heart cake in pink and white, which my aunt bakes,” the twelve-year-old told the “Krone”.
The Innviertel resident knows that her birthday is something special: “When everyone talks about it, it sometimes makes me feel uncomfortable.” Outside of leap years, she obviously didn’t leave empty-handed. In the past, gifts were usually given on February 28 or during the weekend.
