Swiss longevity recordholders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Swiss longevity recordholder is difficult to determine as centralised records are not public.
Articles about the oldest living Swiss of the moment reported on:
- Emma Duvoisin (July 5, 1886 – September 30, 1997 in Geneva) at 111 years and 87 days, possibly the oldest Swiss ever.[1]
- Mathilde Bonzo-Wrede (May 29, 1890 in Dortmund – June 8, 2000 in Winterthur) at 110 years and 10 days.[2]
- Frieda Schöpf (November 17, 1890 in Basel – July 31, 2000 in Lucerne) at 109.[3]
- Emma Soller-Kellenberger (July 23, 1894 – May 22, 2003 in Neukirch) at 108.[4]
- Maria Siegrist-Stämpfli (November 6, 1894 in Grenchen – July 9, 2004 in Grenchen) at 109.[5] [6]
- Suzanne Jaccard (May 21, 1895 - October 2, 2004) at 109.[7]
- Anna Ringier-Kieser (April 12, 1896 - September 3, 2006 in Zofingen) at 109 (she died at 110).[8][9]
- Rosa Rein (born 24 March 1897 in Upper Silesia) at 109 (she is still alive currently at 111).[10][11]
From 1970–2004, four persons in Switzerland lived to be 110 years or older; they died between 1993 and 2001, according to the Swiss Federal Statistical Office quoted by a journalist [6]. This would include Emma Duvoisin and Mathilde Bonzo-Wrede listed above. Anna Ringier-Kieser would be the fifth.
Information from the Thatcher-Kannisto database indicates the Swiss record to be age 111, but no name is given.
