Poland is selling the Krkonoš residence of the Nazi Göring
Warsaw - The Polish Ministry of State Treasury is offering for sale the former residence of Marshal Hermann Göring, one of the closest collaborators of the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. For the property in the town of Karpacz on the Polish side of the Krkonoš, which the Poles call Zámeček, they want four million zlotys (24.8 million crowns).
The property, built about a hundred years ago in alpine style, became the personal residence of Hermann Göring after the outbreak of World War II. On its grounds were two shafts of a silver mine.
"Everyone whispered that all the highest German officials, led by Adolf Hitler, were guests at the residence, but columns of luxury cars arrived at Zámeček under the cover of night," states one promotional material about the villa.
After World War II, Zámeček ended up in Polish territory, whose borders shifted west at the expense of defeated Germany. For decades, it functioned as a recreational facility managed by the government.
The amount of four million zlotys that the Ministry of State Treasury is requesting for the property shrouded in mystery is considered excessive by employees. "It was luxurious here last about twenty years ago," one of them says in today's edition of the newspaper Dziennik-Gazeta Prawna. Reportedly, there are currently not many interested parties in Zámeček.
Hermann Göring was one of the most important politicians during the "Third Reich," for example, he headed the German Air Force, and until 1945, he was considered a successor to Adolf Hitler. After the end of World War II, he was sentenced for war crimes and crimes against humanity to death. However, before the death sentence was carried out, he committed suicide in his cell in Nuremberg by ingesting cyanide.
