At 7:00 pm on October 7, 1951, the brakes on a truck loaded with cement failed and he raced unrestrained into the Hotel Hirsch. Margarete Scherschlicht was spilled by the cement cargo. She received a small accident pension and has become increasingly whimsical since that day.
Therefore, she was also called Zementgretchen or Gretchen.
On 26 August 1994, the Birk family had the bronze statue of cement grating erected in front of their optics shop in Simmern.
