Hermann Göring’s only child, his daughter Edda Göring , lived a long, quiet, and very controversial life after the war and died in 2018 at the age of 80; she never publicly repudiated her father and was buried in an unmarked grave in Munich.

Quick Scoop: What Happened To Göring’s Daughter?

  • Edda was born in 1938 and as a child was treated like a “princess” of the Third Reich, growing up amid luxury at the Göring estate Carinhall, with Hitler as her godfather.
  • Her world collapsed in 1945; her father was tried at Nuremberg, sentenced to death, and killed himself with cyanide in 1946 when she was 8.
  • After the war she lived a low‑profile life in Germany, working as a medical secretary and remaining close to her mother until her mother’s death in 1973.
  • She stayed in Munich, avoided publicity, but in rare interviews spoke fondly of her childhood and defended her father’s reputation rather than condemning him.
  • In 2014 she tried, unsuccessfully, to reclaim some of Hermann Göring’s confiscated assets from the state of Bavaria, arguing she needed them for a “subsistence livelihood.”
  • Edda died on 21 December 2018 in Munich, of unspecified causes, and the authorities and family handled her burial quietly; reports say she was interred in an unmarked grave and her death only became widely known months later.

In short: the “Nazi princess” ended her life as a discreet, unrepentant daughter of a top Nazi, living modestly in Munich and dying in obscurity, but still attracting attention whenever her past resurfaced in the news.
