Margaretha (Margret) Lingen - Master Carpenter
Only a few month before her exam as a graduate engineer, her father died after a serious illness at the age of 69 years. Although she wanted to practise her profession in Milan, she hat to take a different path. She attended master school in Düsseldorf and at the age of 26 she was the only undertaker and cabinetmaker in Germany to pass her master`s examination. Together with her mother, she ran the joinery, upholstery, decoration workshop, furniture store with design, architecture office and funeral parlour.
In 1990 her mother died suddenly and unexpectedly leaving her to fend for herself and to give up her hobbies of horses riding and motorbike racing.
Many years after the birth of her son, Marco, her hobby became her profession again.
