Berlin donates former Goebbels country estate

--

“Whoever wants the mansion will receive it as a gift from the state of Berlin,” he declared.

Although the property is located in the federal state of Brandenburg, 15 kilometers from Berlin, it belongs to the federal state of Berlin. The entire area was bought by the capital in 1936 and given to Goebbels as a birthday present, ZDF television reported.

The municipality of Wandlitz, near which the seat is located, the federal state of Brandenburg and the federal government are not interested in such a gift. And it would be a magnificent gift. The property includes a plot of land with an area of ​​17 hectares, writes Bild newspaper. The country house with 30 rooms was built by Goebbels in 1936. Here he had recreation with his family, but also enjoyed love affairs with actresses. He left the house in April 1945, when he went with the whole family to a Berlin bunker, where a few days later he committed suicide with his wife, after she had poisoned their six children.

After the end of the Nazi dictatorship, the Allies briefly used the site as a military hospital. In 1946, the Soviets handed over the villa and other buildings to the organization Free German Youth (FDJ), similar to the Czechoslovak SSM. Since 2000, the buildings and land have been unused.

The Goebbels villa is in relatively good condition. The floor and windows are intact, the wooden paneling of the study has been preserved. It’s worse with other buildings.

In addition, security costs run into the millions. The maintenance of the entire complex costs around 250,000 euros (6.25 million crowns) annually.

Brandenburg does not want to take over the complex, fearing the renovation costs, which are estimated at tens of millions of euros. They hesitate to sell to private investors due to the history of the entire complex. All that remains is to consider demolition. This would cost around 50 million euros (over a billion CZK). The public and historians protest against it. The complex is maintained as a cultural monument.

“If the current idea goes nowhere, as it has in past decades, then the state of Berlin has no choice but to carry out the demolition. We are already preparing and solving it,” said Evers.
