On October 7, 1951 at around 6:00 p.m., the brakes of a truck loaded with cement failed and it sped unbraked into the Hotel Hirsch. Margarete Scherschlicht was buried under the cement load. She received a small accident pension and from that day on became more and more whimsical.
Therefore she was also called cement Gretchen or Gretchen.
On August 26, 1994, the Birk family had the bronze statue of the cement Gretchen erected in front of their optics shop in Simmern.
