Winter Wachenfeld

The Berghof began as a much smaller chalet called Haus Wachenfeld, a vacation home built in 1916 by Otto Winter, a businessman from Buxtehude. Winter's widow rented the house to Hitler in 1928 and his half-sister Angela came to live there as housekeeper (she left soon after her daughter Geli's apparent 1931 suicide in Hitler's Munich apartment following a stay at the house). By 1933 Hitler had purchased Haus Wachenfeld with funds he received through the sale of his political book Mein Kampf.
