Former Kaiser Wilhelm II, 82, died at Doorn House at 11 30 am after an embolism of the lung. He had lived in exile at Doorn for more than 20 years with his second wife Princess Hermine, declining to return to Germany and preferring retirement over politics.
A vivid portrait recalls Wilhelm II living in Doorn after 1918 exile. The former ruler haunts his rose garden and pine precincts, fears crowds and cancer, and clings to religious conviction while dictating memoir chapters and cherishing Frederick the Great memorabilia. He longs to die in exile, not in Germany, amid portraits, a carved saddle, and a high fenced medieval estate.
His retainers still treated him as king at Doorn House. An assassination attempt in December 1932 left a German attacker crouched in the tower. In later years he mapped Hitler’s military moves with colored pins and listened to radio bulletins for hours.
Fairbank held its Memorial Day ceremony with World War II veterans Legior Auxiliary and the Fairbank Band marching to cemeteries. Salutes, decorated graves, and taps honored the fallen as families joined a community picnic at Fairbank’s Island Park.
