The former private villa of the Nazi’s chief propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, is getting a meaningful upgrade.
Plans underway would turn Goebbels’ 70-plus room lakeside estate in Bogensee, Germany — which includes a private movie theatre — into a vegan-friendly commune.
The transformation would serve as a rebuke to the legacy of Adolf Hitler and Goebbels, welcoming the types of residents the Nazis targeted, Arnim Beutel of Life & Creativity Bogensee Campus (LKC), the non-profit group behind the project, told the Daily Star :
“It should be a diverse community. I think they would hate it because of course, we do the opposite of what they would do,” Beutel said.

“We want to build a co-operative community and we want to bring life back there. We want to make it a hotspot for culture and education and health. We want to create an area for an alternative way to live and to work.”
Renovation of the building, abandoned for two decades and left in disrepair, would be gradual and require public and private financing, the LKC website states. Once complete, the estate would house 250 residents, with special accommodation granted to immigrants and the disabled.
The champions of the initiative intend for the repurposed building to discourage Neo-Nazi intrusions.
In 1936, Hitler gifted the Bogensee land to Goebbels, his loyal chief propagandist, who brought the then-nascent TV and radio media under Nazi influence. Goebbels poured money into building his forested hideaway, located 15 kilometres to the north of Berlin, where he reportedly had love affairs with mistresses, including a young Lida Baarova, the Czech-born leading lady.
His family came to live with him at the Bogensee property, up until they fled to Berlin during the fall of the Nazi regime in 1945. Soon after, facing certain Nazi defeat, Goebbels poisoned his six children and committed suicide with is wife Magda.
After the war’s end, the property became a training school for youths under the East German socialist party and was abandoned around the time Germany reunified in 1990.
The renovated space would incorporate living spaces, artist’s workshops, a health and wellness centre, a theatre, vegan restaurant and supermarket. A museum focusing on the mansion’s peculiar history is also proposed.
Residents will be able to work on campus, and visitors could live in the “hostel” and “hotel,” according to a translated statement on the LKC website.
Nature lovers can take quiet strolls along the lakeshore and surrounding woods.
“If you walk the old ways, the grass in the joints of the pavement muffles your footsteps,” LKC says. “The chirping of birds and the wind in the leaves underscore an almost contemplative silence
