Klara Pölzl

Klara Pölzl (Spital bei Weitra, 12 August 1860 - Linz, 21 december 1907) was the mother of Adolf Hitler. Hitler would always have her portrait: in Vienna, Munich and Berlin, until in his room in the bunker in which he would commit suicide in 1945.

Klara was born in the village of Spital, daughter of Johann Pölzl and Johanna Hiedler. It was through her grandfather most likely related to [http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=nl&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fnl.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FAlois_Hitler_sr. Alois Hitler], there was already a generation between. As a result, they continued to call him "Uncle", even after her marriage. For their wedding was a papal dispensation required. Klara was later described as a long woman with smooth facial features and beautiful eyes. She was Roman Catholic and attended church services at wedding all. She was a shy, gentle and shy woman, who could protect itself nor its children against Alois Hitler's anger outbursts.

In 1876, while Alois Hitler's first marriage to Anna Glassl, trad Klara join him in service as housekeeper. Not long after Alois began a relationship with Franziska "Fanni" Matzelsberger while he from bed and separated from his sick wife. Fanni demanded, however, that Klara would go away, because they regarded her as a rival. Alois married after the death of Anna with Fanni, but soon died Fanni to a lung disease. Almost immediately he began a relationship with Klara. He married on January 7, 1885 in a short ceremony with Klara and then went straight to his work. This hurt Klara very.

By Alois Klara got six children:

Gustav and Ida d. both on diphtheria, Otto lived only a few days after his birth, and Edmund died at the age of six to measles. Only two children survived their early youth (Adolf and Paula). This should have done her very much grief, though never to his children looked round him and Alois apparently didn't care. This made all motherly attention and care on Adolf and Paula projected, which no doubt had a great deal of influence on the later dictator.

Alois went retired In 1895. He knew to buy a piece of land but it work on it fell him too heavy and he spent his days at home by. Alois was bored and became Moody, taking his frustration on Klara afreageerde through tantrums and abuse. Also his older children were regularly the target although there is no hard evidence that he also would have beaten them. Adolf Hitler later admitted that he himself has regularly had to take hits of his father in receiving while his mother terrified stood behind the door. Alois eventually died In 1903 and left Klara a modest ability after which they could maintain herself and her children.

In Adolfs teens persuaded Adolf her to get him from school in 1905, after which followed a year and a half in which Klara and her daughter Paula ensured that Adolf could spend his time come to terms. After some insistence of family members who felt that Adolf had to learn a profession, persuaded him to Vienna in 1907 Adolf her to let go in order to study at the Academy of fine arts. Adolf was turned down but it never dared to tell his mother.

At the end of 1907 showed that Klara had breast cancer . She died after a painful illness, Adolf and Paula with her children at her side. Her doctor, Eduard Bloch, the Jewish later stated that he had never seen someone so broken was by grief as Adolf Hitler. Adolf found hate to see his mother such a pain suffered and died. After this, until his death, he would keep to a latent fear from a painful disease or disease (particularly cancer) die.
