Johanna Pölzl (née Hiedler;[1] 19 January 1830 – 8 February 1906), was the maternal grandmother of Adolf Hitler.
She was born in the village of Spital (part of Weitra), in the Waldviertel of Lower Austria. Johanna was the eldest of three children born to Johann Nepomuk Hiedler. On 15 September 1848, Johanna married Johann Baptist Pölzl. The couple would eventually have five sons and six daughters, and only three of these children would survive to adulthood.
On 28 December 1873, Johanna's mother Eva died at the age 71 in Spital (Weitra), and her father Johann died on 17 September 1888 at the age of 81. Her seventh child and third daughter, Klara, would eventually become the third wife of Alois Hitler (formerly Schicklgruber) who was also Johanna's cousin.[2] Alois was the illegitimate son of Maria Schicklgruber, who had married Johanna's paternal uncle, Johann Georg Hiedler on 10 May 1842. Alois would claim in his later life that Johann Georg Hiedler was not his stepfather, but in fact his biological father. Accordingly, Johanna's father Johann Nepomuk Hiedler returned to Weitra in June 1876 with Alois, and Johann had testified before a Catholic notary that Johann Georg was Alois’ real and legitimate father, who had abandoned the child as he himself was living in extreme poverty and couldn’t raise him, and had handed over his fatherhood responsibilities to Johann Nepomuk.[3] With the help of 3 close relatives, Alois was legitimized, and officially changed his name on 6 January 1877 at the age of 39, to Alois Hitler, and the priest then changed the details on the baptismal certificate from “Catholic, Male, Illegitimate” to “Johann Georg Hitler” under his father’s name.[4]
Klara and Alois had six children. Their first two children, Gustav and Ida, died in late-1887[5] and early-1888[6]
