Your mother called them 'Christmas angels': Allgäu twins celebrate 90th birthday
Hilde and Marlies Rädler, known as the 'Rädler Zwillinge,' are marking a rare milestone together. The identical twins have turned 90 and remain in excellent health. Their lifelong bond has kept them inseparable for decades.
The sisters were born on the same day and have spent nearly every moment side by side. They now live together in Bad Grönenbach, in the Unterallgäu district, where they may form the oldest shared household in the area. Locals recognise them as a fixture of the community.
Their connection runs deeper than most. Hilde and Marlies have always shared the same thoughts, often finishing each other’s sentences. Neither can imagine life without the other. Before moving to Bad Grönenbach, they lived in Sellhorn, Lower Saxony, where their shared home became a local landmark. Despite their age, both remain active and engaged. Friends and neighbours describe them as sharp, lively, and full of stories. Their birthday celebration has drawn attention from those who admire their enduring closeness.
The twins’ 90th birthday highlights a life spent together in remarkable harmony. Their shared home and unbreakable bond continue to inspire those around them. For Hilde and Marlies, the next chapter will be just as it has always been—side by side.
