Bruno Kant: At 109 years old, the oldest man in Germany and church services in his heart!
Last Saturday, November 7th, 2025, Karl Haidle, the oldest man in Germany, died at the proud age of 110. This means that Bruno Kant from Löschenrod in the Fulda district is now the oldest living man in Germany, at an impressive 109 years old. Kant recently celebrated his 75th anniversary as a priest and remains a prominent figure in the region. According to Thomas Breining, a researcher in gerontology, there are 11 to 12 women in Germany who are older than Kant, but whose age often remains unconfirmed. In Hesse there is only one woman known who surpasses him. Kant holds the title of being the last living man born in 1916.
Although there are older men in Europe, the data situation in Eastern and Southeastern Europe is difficult. Internet forums also rank Kant as the 12th or 13th oldest living man in the world. It should also be mentioned that the oldest German man, Gustav Gerneth, lived to be 114 years old, although his date of birth has not been verified. The oldest person still born in Germany is Ilse Meingast, who lives in the USA and is 113 years old.
Bruno Kant's way of life and reach
Despite his old age, Bruno Kant still has a surprising amount of joy in life. He needs a walker, has impaired hearing and a pacemaker, but overall he makes a good impression and will be 110 years old next February. His daily routine includes structured activities that include praying, watching television, and watching church services. His niece Beate Kant emphasizes the importance of care, which is crucial in his old age.
Mayor Johannes Rothmund described Kant as a person who is deeply anchored in people's hearts. To honor his achievements, the square in front of the church in Löschenrod was renamed Bruno-Kant-Platz. He was actively involved in the community until his 100th birthday and continued to attend church services at the age of 102.
