Per Irish Times:

A 66-year-old Berlin woman has given birth to a healthy baby boy, her 10th child and the eighth since turning 50.

Alexandra Hildebrandt is a well-known figure in Berlin public life as owner and manager of the Checkpoint Charlie museum dedicated to the city’s decades of division and escape attempts from East Berlin.

In recent years, though, she has attracted more headlines for her renewed embrace of motherhood – after giving birth to her first child in 1977.

This week, she announced the arrival last Wednesday of Philipp, her 10th child by Caesarean section, after an “uncomplicated” pregnancy.
