She was born twelve years ago - and yet she is only celebrating her third birthday tomorrow: Greta Varadi from Braunau was born on February 29. She tells us how she is dealing with this special day, as do Alexandra and Christian Dürrager from Eggelsberg, who got married on leap day 2020.

When Barbara Varadi was told her daughter's due date by doctors more than twelve years ago, she didn't give it much thought: "I didn't take it particularly seriously and didn't expect it to turn out like this."
