Angela Maria “Geli” Raubal was born on June 4th 1908 in Linz Austria as the daughter of the tax office official Leo Raubal (1879-1910), a native Czech, and his wife Angela Franszka Johanna (1883-1949), born Hitler (a half sister of Adolf) where she was raised with her brother Leo and sister Elfriede.
Her father died (at the age of 31) two years after she was born, and as a result she and her two siblings, Leo and Elfriede, often changed places of residence and caregivers.
In 1923 Adolf Hitler was appointed Raubal’s guardian, but it was not until 1924 that she met him for the first time during a visit to Landsberg am Lech Fortress, where he was imprisoned.
