It was a shock yesterday to find pinned on the noticeboard in our building's lobby the announcement that Frau Königer, my landlandy and the spokesperson for the owners of the flats, had died. Apparently she had been battling for a long time a debilitating illness of which I was quite unaware... she always enquired after my health!
Lydia Königer will be missed. She was fierce in her fight with the city authorities when parking on both sides of our narrow street prevented the sanitation trucks from passing and garbage amassed uncollected.
