in 1943 and 1944 - due to the advance of the Allies - furniture from Adolf Hitler's Reich Chancellery was stored in rooms of the castle restaurant and the Gauführerschule. There are numerous stories and myths surrounding this furniture storage. The role of the then tenant of the castle restaurant, Hellmuth Krumbiegel, also remains ambivalent. The lecture attempts to present the current state of research and to stimulate discussion about how to deal with these myths and possible devotional objects.
