 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on good sources, offline source accepted AGF, and at the moment I have also ref #1 for AGF, because the site has maintenance.

 * infobox
 * Gerda Arendt, Done
 * explain the middle name from the lead in the body also
 * Done
 * mention the father first, for the family name to appear sooner
