The wardrobe was given its name by the father of Dorothea K. From birth, the girl had no fear of anything, which led to numerous terrible injuries. While she was lying in bed undergoing skeletal traction, her parents read her terrifying stories from Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm and Edgar Allan Poe. Nothing helped. The girl continued to behave fearlessly and recklessly, although always with good intentions, which invariably resulted in injuries.
K. senior, without telling his wife, decided to “mutilate” (as she put it acerbically) a beautiful Swedish wardrobe made in 1949. Dorothea’s father drilled hundreds of holes in the cupboard, just like a termite, and added a powerful light inside. He placed it in the child’s room as a night light. Instead of a lullaby, it played The Doll’s Funeral by Tchaikovsky.
Within just one week, Dorothea had acquired a keen sense of fear and the instinct of self-preservation.
She died at the age of 83 in an old people’s home without any heirs. Dorothea was only 150 cm tall.
