Fiscal Officer Alois Schickelgruber was married three times, and while he may have had extramarital offsprings on the side, his first marriage remained childless. After separation from his--by the way, much older--first wife, he entered into matrimony with one of his Teutonic ideals, namely a young waitress by the name of Franziska Matzelsberger with whom he had maintained a previous relationship and with whom he begat three children: a son Alois, born before the marriage of his parents, whom we have already encountered in the restaurant-keeper from the Berlin Wittenberg Square. (This Alois, in turn, would wed a woman from Ireland with whom he had a variety of children--among them a son William Patrick Hitler who later made himself a name through mysterious allusions to his family's alleged Jewish origin.) The Schickelgrubers also had a daughter, Angela. But Franziska Matzelsberger died young, and now Alois Schickelgruber married for the third time; this time his presumable--or at least purported--niece, Klara Pölzl, then twenty-five.

Klara Pölzl was the daughter of farmer Johann Pölzl of Spital, No.37; a half-foundered farmstead on the slopes on the Northern village limits which neighbored (and still neighbors) the house No.36 whence Georg and Johann Hiedler emanated. From this very house No.36, Klara Pölzl's mother, too, happened to come, for her name was Johanna Hüttler, and she was the daughter of Johann Hüttler or Hiedler. Johann himself, however, was son to the farmer Martin Hiedler (also from Spital No.36) and to Maria Göschl of Walterschlag. Thus in short: If Alois Schickelgruber was indeed the son of Georg Hiedler, Klara Pölzl was Johann Hiedler's granddaughter, or, as we said above, his niece. For which reason they necessitated a churchly dispensation to be married.

So,marriages between uncle and niece were legal,isn't this incest?

Besides the "if" - try to write all that down on a paper and see the distance that possible relation.


Incest is a sexual relations between persons who, because of the nature of their kin relationships, are prohibited by law or custom from intermarrying.
Austrian law (and generally European) doesn't call such distant relations incest.

i read where it was not uncommon at the time to marry nieces or nephews.
