Again, for Alex. I made an information request to Urząd Stanu Cywilnego in Katowice regarding the death of Hildegard Magdelina Kolassa. I received a reply that there is no record of her death in their electronic database. She would most likely have been married, at least once, if she lived to 86 years of age. I’m not sure that Urząd Stanu Cywilnego would be able to identify her by her maiden name.
Thanks for your help with this.

Hey Richard! Try to ask about a death certificate no. 4545/89 USC Katowice, if the first names matches, ask for the surname. Ask about „Akt Zgonu nr 4545/89 USC Katowice, Hildegarda Magdalena z domu Kolasa, urodzona 28.03.1903 w Siemianowicach (Laura Hutte) zmarła 10.12.1989 roku w Katowicach” …
The original birth certificate is kept at the Civil Registry Office Siemianowice Śląskie (http://www.siemianowice.pl/miasto/dokumenty/urzad-stanu-cywilnego.1247/).
The only problem may be the Act on Civil Registry Files and their issue for non-related persons in a straight line.
