One German pub owner is still serving at 87 | DW Documentary

Time to binge watch.

Sweet stuff. First btw :-D

Rocking grandma just pouring Dem beers like Swagers on a fruitpile

87 and young 😘
🎊 Congratulations Oma for keeping your Pub open and your self apart of your towns community...Thank you DW for the story

We have disco Nel in the Netherlands and she is even older then this woman.

Good work, hope she gets someone to take over.

German people are friendly. Good on her, what a great story. It is sad that it will some day close. Nothing gold can ever stay.

Healthy & labourios grandma.

The best evidence that age is just a number especially when you do what you really love.. God bless her.

Old people who keep active despite their old age lives longer. The Japanese people is an example of this. I'm glad for her. Hope she keeps doing what She loves for a long time.

I tried to take over a place in Heidelberg, a "turn-key" operation. Due to a problem with my girlfriend, I missed out. The people that took over, ripped out the interior and turned it into a cheap disco like bar, ruined it forever..................oh well (?).

Is there a version of this in German?

She is pouring beer like a very frugal AND smart barkeep! She waits for the foam to subside then pours again...no waste for this German lady!

Let's see: she's 87, which means she was born in 1931, or maybe, 1930 if she hasn't had her birthday yet. If she started there when she was 17, that would have been in 1948. Wow. She went through the war as a teenager, suffered the communists for 45 years, and now, sadly, her village is, more or less, an old folks home. But she's got plenty of beer and schnapps. And only charges 1 euro 30 for a beer!

Life have no meaning unless one getting up and do something!

inspiring granny

Whether you're 87 or 107, as long as your motor skills and faculty are intact, you should soldier on......for the best way to die, is on your feet. At the news of your death, people would say, "what, I just saw her yesterday"

i wanna visit this pub before i die

Living since 8 years here in Germany, I can atest that these old germans are one of the best group of people one will ever meet. They are freakishly humble.

God bless you

Viva Palestina ("Long live Palestine")

thanks for translating, love these docs.

I am 57 years old and I would love to live in the town of Neuhaus on the river Elbe, and run a little pub like Mrs Hildegard Schweinsberg, it will be like a dream come true, what a place!!!

Thank you for bringing us this touching human story. It made me sad, but I hope Granny Börse receives all the love she needs till her very last day ❤️

Did she serve at the Beer Hall Putsch?

Das gute Lübzer

It is so sad to see these cozy little pubs are dying out in all smaller
towns in Germany. In my earlier years I used to visit them whenever
I travelled to Germany. I liked the warm homely atmosphere and the
friendly people you meet there, and thoroughly enjoyed listening those popular German songs being played in Juke Box. O! How I miss those days!

After all money is the problem...

You know your German when….

Lets go Grandma!

What a fantastic lady

The man helping his wife with dementia killed me. He’s so careful with her and has such deference for her. That’s love; everlasting love.
Bless them.

This is an amazing story. It reminds me of the "Simonskrug" in the village of Elsen NRW, otherwise known as "Betty's". In it "Betty" and her husband lived over the bar and served beer and great food for very many years. I was lucky to have visited many times and got to know her. She even put photos of us (a brass ensemble from England) in the bar. She was just amazing. Always welcoming, always happy,, always friendly. And very fine beer and food too. I miss those times, and I miss "Betty".

She will be dead now :(

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
