After their marriage on 03-01-1923, Josef Goebbels  (did you know) used the marriage for the Nazi propaganda, the Göring’s first lived in a house in the suburbs of Munich, Döbereinerstrass 30

      and the most cost were paid by Nils von Kantzow, her ex. She even had a car with driver. They had to flee to Sweden after the failed Beer Hall Putsch of November 1923. (see Andreas Bauriedl) (see Theodor Pfordten) Carin already suffering of angina pectoris, asthma, rheumatism, and intestine problems, followed her husband, a morphine addicted, after being wounded in the groin and hip during the Putz in 1923, into the Nazi Party, and by all accounts was an even more fanatical Nazi and Antisemitic then her husband. She took an active part in the endless talk of Hitler’s (see Hitler Paula)   inner circle, both in her own home and in regular drinking sessions in the Bratwurstglöckel tavern in the heart of old Munich.

Her husband Hermann was to busy with the NSDAP and didn’t sit at her bed when she died. Carin first was buried in Löv, Sweden, but when Göring visited the grave in October 1933 and put a wreath, in the form of a swastika, on the grave, the graveside was destroyed. The gravestone with a swastika engraved was now engraved with the text, ” We the Swedish are insult by the desecration of tombs by the German Göring, let his former wife rest in peace and save us for the German propaganda “. Hermann Goering called the baronial hunting lodge he built from 1933 Carinhall,

     in her honour. It was there that he had her body re interred from her original grave in Sweden, in a funeral attended by Adolf Hitler (see Alois Hitler) (did you know). Carinhall was demolished under Göring’s orders as Russian troops advanced in 1945, Carin was reburied in the woods of the Schorfheide but the Russians discovered the new grave. A local forester could pinch the remains and informed the family in Sweden. The new Communist Order in East Germany pertinent forbid the removal from her remains to Sweden.
