Dora Richter, the first ever trans woman to undergo gender reassignment surgery, was usually thought to have died during the Nazis burning of the Institute for Sexual Research. However, new evidence points to Richter having successfully escaped the Nazis, and living a long life, until 1966, where she died at age 74.

A few older Allersberg residents want to remember a lady and her brother. Like other displaced persons, the two lived in barracks on the outskirts of town. The brother was known for his wit, they say. And the sister for her handbag. A pigeon always sat in it, like in a nest. The lady was rarely seen without her bag. Now and then she dropped some food into it, several people in town say. Dora Richter was also often in a good mood. But that was a long time ago, they keep saying. That's why it remains doubtful whether the man was really a brother.

There is a long, proud tradition of trans women boymoding.
