An elderly couple in Germany had a fortune worth $7.5 million when they died — and they left it all to their tiny village.

The Weiperfelden district in central Germany is the sole inheritor of Renate and Alfred Wedel’s riches, tied up in a stock portfolio and property, CNN reported.

The village learned of its late residents’ generosity in April, following the passing of Renate in December 2018 at age 81.

“I thought at first this is simply not possible. I thought a comma had slipped, something is not quite right,” local mayor Bernd Heine told German news outlet Hessenschau.

Alfred, who was “successful” and “active” on the stock exchange, died in 2014, according to a statement from the Waldsoms district, which comprises Weiperfelden and six other villages.

Renate’s sister was the original heir to the couple’s wealth but she had already died, Hessenschau said.

The community must use the Wedels’ windfall on “community facilities and infrastructure.”

Heine said the money may be spent on cycling paths, buildings and a kindergarten, though residents suggested it go toward an outdoor pool, public transportation and facilities for local children.

“The community of Waldsolms posthumously thanks the Wedel couple for this important inheritance,” the district said in a statement.

“We will deal with it very responsibly, develop our community for the good of all and keep an honorable memory of both.”
