Who is she?

Born in 1888 to parents Pierre Reinert and Marie Leick, Claire Reinert was one of seven children. In 1911, Claire Reinert was authorised to work as a midwife. She opened a small maternity clinic in Rue du Moulin in Mondorf-les-Bains. Clara Reinert was very popular and the inhabitants dearly called her Joffer Klara or even Tata Klara.

Women from Mondorf-les-Bains and the surrounding area come here to give birth to their babies. She also cycled to the villages around Mondorf-les-Bains to see the women who gave birth at home, even across the border to villages in Lorraine.

Later she got a car, and was the first woman in Mondorf-les-Bains to drive a car.

Her brother Auguste, who was widowed at a very young age and alone with three children, found a home with her.

Clara Reinert died on 9 August 1968.
