Adolf Hitler with his father, Alois Schlicklgruber/Hitler
It's well known that Hitler and his father, Alois, were not close. On the other hand, young Adolf loved and admired his mother, Klara, presumably because she adored him. His childhood home was one of fights and violence, and when reading about it it's very understandable that Alois wasn't one of Adolf's favorite relatives.
Alois Hitler (né Schicklgruber, 1837– 1903) was the illegitimate son of the 42 years old cook or housemaid Anna Maria Schicklgruber who may have had an affair with her employer, the Jewish merchant Leopold Frankenberger/Frankenreiter. If that's the case Alois was a "half Jew" and his son, Adolf, would have been a "quarter Jew". This allegation goes back to Hitler's former lawyer, Hans Frank and his memoires, "In the Face of the Gallows". Besides, according to some historians Anna Maria was paid money by her employer for many years after leaving her job as the cook or housemaid of the Frankenberger household to give birth to Alois. If that is the case it would be a strong indication that this Jewish employer - or his son - in reality was the biological father of the boy and thus the real grandfather of Adolf.
However, in 1876 Alois convinced the Austrian local authorities that the by then deceased farmer his mother married, i.e. Johan Georg Hiedler, was his father. This dead stepfather had neither adopted nor naturalized the boy, thus alleging that he was his biological son, which doesn't make it likely that that was the case. However, somehow his plan succeeded, but the Austrian authorities got his new surname wrong and spelled it "Hitler".
When Klara and Alois began an affair he was still married to Franziska, but when she died and Klara became pregnant he decided to marry her in 1885 even though they were not exactly a loving couple, but were fightning all the time. After Alois changed his name he also became a much closer relative of his 26 years younger third wife and they had to apply for a special permit to marry.
Anna Maria Schicklgruber
No matter what it looks like the biography of his paternal grandmother made Hitler forbid "Aryan women up to 45 years of age" to work in the households of Jewish men. That looks like a ridiculous law, but - as we know - Hitler may have had his special reasons to want to curb any kind of intimate connections between this kind of employers and female workers.
