Last Years
Feodora Reuss spent her last years at the Sanatorium Buchwald-Hohenwiese, Kowary, near Hirschberg, Silesia; the hospital being close to the home she had made with her husband at nearby Schloss Neuhoff. Tiring of years of illness and dubious treatment - and possibly also in reaction to the Potsdam Conference ceding part of Silesia to Poland - she committed suicide at the age of 66 on 26 August 1945.
