Karl Heidle, the oldest resident of Germany, died on November 1 at the age of 111, according to a report by Kreiszeitung Böblinger Bote on November 3. The article noted that the man celebrated his 110th birthday just weeks before his passing.
Born on September 2, 1915, in Germany, Heidle worked as a locksmith throughout his life. Even at age 99, he was driving a car and tending to his vineyard. At 105, he outlived his only daughter and lived independently in the quiet village of Stetten. Remarkably, he had not visited a doctor for nearly three decades.
