Is it true that Zelensky bought Hitler’s house for € 14.2 million?

In early February 2025, the Russian media said that the President of Ukraine became the new owner of Schalet in Bavaria, who previously belonged to the head of the Third Reich. We checked the veracity of this information.

As reported with reference to the publication Aktuelle Nachrichten, the Italian company San Tommaso S.R.L., owned by the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, acquired the Shalin Nest chalet in Bavaria. The amount of the transaction amounted to more than € 14 million. The house built in the 1930s, approved in publications, is known for the fact that the Nazi party gave him to its leader Adolf Hitler for the 50th anniversary. After the fall of the Third Reich, the "eagle nest" became a tourist object, but did not bring much income. Therefore, supposedly it was decided to sell the building.

They wrote about this "Vesti.ru","Moscow Komsomolets","Arguments and facts"And other Russian media, as well as large Telegram channels, including"Sanya in Florida"(522,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Russia now"(180 000), Voblya (153,000), "Observer"(128 000) and"Ostashko! Important"(118 000).

Schale Kelsteinhaus was built in the south of Bavaria in 1937-1938. Outside Germany, it is more known as the "eagle nest", although it is named after the mountain on the top of which is located. According to various estimates, Hitler has been here about ten times - Contrary to A common opinion, the building was not given to him for an anniversary. With Nazis, chalets were used as a shelter and the venue of diplomatic meetings. After the end of World War II, Kelsteinhaus was handed over to a special trust and opened for tourists.

February 5, on the website of the German -speaking publication Aktuelle Nachrichten in Deutschland, an extensive articlededicated to the alleged change of the owner of the object. With reference to representatives of the state -owned company Immobilien Freistaat Bayern (Imby), which is responsible for the management of real estate in the federal land of Bavaria, it was stated that on December 22, 2024, Kelsteinhaus was sold to the Italian company San Tommaso S.R.L. The publication contains screenshots of the alleged agreement (with bills) and a two -minute video in which the content of the article was retold.

The new owner of the chalet in the document is San Tommaso S.R.L. Zelensky Indicates her in declarations throughout her presidency. Before the 2019 elections, reporters' journalists discoveredthat the politician did not mention the villa in a similar document at the Italian resort of Forte-de-Marie, which San Tommaso S.R.L. At Zelensky headquarters then They saidthat by law the candidate is obliged to declare his companies, but not their property. Subsequently, the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption conducted against the president check On the legality of enrichment and a possible conflict of interests, but there was no violations. In 2022, Italian media They wrotethat Villa still belongs to the Zelensky family.

In the case of Kelsteinhaus, it is argued that the contract of sale from the seller allegedly signed Petra Schmid, Director of the IMBY regional representative office in the Upper Palz district, which is located in Regensburg. However, Kelsteinhaus located In another district-in Upper Bavaria, and in its south-east, near the border with Austria. Therefore, there is no legal and practical grounds for the conclusion of the transaction to be recorded in Regensburg.

From the side of San Tommaso R.S.L. Judging by the autograph, the contract allegedly signed a certain Stefan L. (in the text of the document its full name and position are hidden). “Verified” did not find in open sources of references to the company's employees with such a name and initial.

Although the transaction, claimed, was concluded back in December and the building was supposed to be closed for visitors, on the website of the restaurant working in Kelsteinhaus, It is saidthat it is traditionally closed in the winter season and will resume work on May 9. The same information given On the website of the Berchtesgaden community, where the "eagle nest" is located.

On February 7, Imby posted on its official website statement:

“Currently, a video with statements about the alleged sale of Kelsteinhaus in the Berchtesgaden community is distributed on social networks. This is deliberate misinformation. Kelsteinhaus remains the property of the free state of Bavaria. Sale did not take place and is not planned. The estimated contract of sale shown in the video is a fake, as well as the alleged quote from Imby. Kelsteinhaus will resume his regular seasonal work in May 2025. Imby will take legal measures against those who publish this misinformation. ”

"Completely fictional" information from the article He called it and Bartl Wimmer, chairman of the Berchtesgaden Mining Association.

Let us turn to the site that has been distributed by the screenshots of the document-Aktuelle Nachrichten in Deutschland (Aktuell-Nachricht.de). How Show data who.is and similar services, the only “serious change” (apparently referring to the registration of the domain) occurred with the site on December 14, then it first recorded it Internet Archive. By the time of writing this analysis, more than 2000 appeared on the site articles Without indicating the release date, that is, on average more than 30 per day. In some of them, obvious anachronisms are found: so, in one of publications It is said about the chances of the ultra -right politician of Kalin Georgke to win the second round of the presidential election in Romania, although the results of the first round canceled On December 6, eight days before the site launch. All this indicates a mechanical filling of the portal content. Moreover, the non -existent (judging by open sources) organization An Media UG, located at the again non -existent Schlossalle address, 5 in Dresden, is indicated as the website operator.

Not the first time, this is not the first time that the reports of the purchase of real estate in Europe after the outbreak of a full -scale war in Ukraine. "Verified" already disassembled such news about transactions with British Britain, villas in the USA, Egypt And On the Caribbean, Winge Sting in Italy, Hotel in Courchevel etc. If you believe the same sources, the Ukrainian president has a special weakness for the legacy of the Third Reich - he allegedly acquired Goebbels estate And Hitler's car. All this news turned out to be fakes, and the handwriting of their creators in many cases was the same: either on a special site mimicing under the media, or on the website of a real-existing but little-known publication, an article with “revealing” photo, audio or video materials, which later turned out to be falsified.

Thus, the news of the acquisition of Zelensky Bavarian chalet, in which Hitler has repeatedly visited, is fake. It is based on the information of a little -known site, apparently created specifically for the legalization of the stuffing. The transaction was refuted, including representatives of the company mentioned in that publication. It contains numerous inaccuracies indicating falsification.
