Peter Ehegartner is 64 years old and first donated blood on 24th January 1981 when he followed is his father’s footsteps.
Admittedly it was another 10 years before he started doing so on a regular basis, but then he kept on going and this month (July 2013) donated blood for the 100th time.
For this achievement he received an engraved watch and a badge of honour with “100” on it from the blood donor service along with a hamper from the local branch of the Red Cross.
He has already recruited two new donors – his daughter and future son-in-law who both gave blood for the first time this year.

173 people made their way to the Red Cross building in the Marxstraße yesterday (Saturday, 11th May, 2013) to donate blood. For two of them, it was their 100th donation.
Bernd Adler, 65, was the first to arrive. He started donating blood in his home town Bad Hersfeld, but on moving to Schmitten 30 years ago he started donating in Oberursel. “I only come for the Rindswurst (beef sausage)” he joked.
Jürgen Popp, 50, on the other hand has moved from Oberursel to Frankfurt, but he still returns on a regular basis to donate blood rather than going somewhere new. As a professional soldier he has seen for himself how the blood is used in emergency situations in places like Afghanistan.
“It is a great achievement to regularly donate [blood] over so many years” said Jürgen Swoboda of the Red Cross blood donation service. He present both of them with a certificate and a wristwatch engraved with their names, as well as a badge of honour. The also each received a hamper from the local branch.
