Magda Goebbels

Johanna Maria Magdalena Magda Goebbels was the wife of Nazi Germanys Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. A prominent member of the Nazi Party, she was a close ally, companion and political supporter of Adolf Hitler. Some historians refer to her as the unofficial First Lady of Nazi Germany, while others give that title to Emmy Gring.

Magda was born in 1901 in Berlin, Germany to Auguste Behrend and engineerBerlin developer Oskar Ritschel. The couple were married later that year and divorced in 1905. Some sources, including HansOtto Meissner , suggest that the marriage took place before her birth, but there is no particular evidence to support that claim. When she was five, her mother sent her to stay with Ritschel in Cologne. Ritschel took her to Brussels, Belgium, where she was enrolled at the Ursuline Convent in Vilvoorde. At the convent, she was remembered as an active and intelligent little girl.
