SS-Ahnenerbe Report – Subject: Graf Klaus von Nibelheim
Classification: Geheim (Secret)
Date: 14 October 1939
Subject Identification
Name(s): Klaus von Nibelheim XXVII b. 03/20/1871 and Klaus von Nibelheim XXVIII b. 6/12/1910.
Declared Ages: 68, 29.
Observed Age: No confirmed sightings of either man since 1899. Parish records include the younger.
Residence: Estate on Kirchdachspitze, over Trins, Tyrol.
Background
Subject(s) maintains reputation as last scion of the noble von Nibelheim line, though nobility abolished under Austrian law (1919).
Known historically for extensive patronage of Catholic institutions: chapels, reliquaries, monastic gifts.
Anomalous resemblance noted across family portraits dated back to the 9th century. Locals insist all “Klauses” are the same man.
Field Observations
No direct sightings of the subject(s) in four decades. They are “said to be travelling,” though no one provides specifics.
Estate remains staffed and operational; taxes and donations are paid through intermediaries.
Wolf-dogs still maintained inside estate walls. Field team reported a wild pack halting at the property boundary, “as if restrained by unseen barrier.”
Villagers refuse to speak critically. They refer to him, singularly, and universally as “Herr Klaus,” or even "der Graf".
Reputation Among Locals
Folklore increasingly explicit: subject called Nachzehrer (devourer of the dead) or der Ewige Klaus (the Eternal Klaus), Wolfs Herr, and Herr des Winters.
Clergy defend the family with fervor, citing uninterrupted donations since the early medieval period and “faithful Catholic witness.”
Outsiders attempting to question villagers report sudden hostility, silence, or refusal of hospitality.
Assessment
Subject(s) presents consistent anomalies: ageless appearance (from prior observations), inexplicable authority over animals, excessive resemblance to ancestors, and unnatural loyalty from villagers.
The Catholic mask remains impenetrable; clergy rally to the subject's defense before accusations can be voiced.
While the noble title carries no legal weight, subject(s) embodies the archetype of “eternal Germanic blood.” Propaganda value considerable if harnessed.
Risk: Subject(s) remains unseen. Any direct attempt to compel an appearance may provoke unpredictable consequences.
Recommendation
Maintain cautious contact through estate intermediaries.
Consider ceremonial recognition or symbolic honors to secure cooperation if subject(s) resurfaces.
Encourage study of subject(s) under guise of folklore research, with particular focus on continuity of “family” identity.
File forwarded to Reichsführer-SS for personal review.
Signed,
Sturmbannführer Karl Weigand

(Annotations in black pencil, added to Weigand’s 14 October 1939 report)
“Unseen since the War, yet his influence persists. This is not ordinary absence.”
“The ‘Eternal Klaus’ is of interest to the Order. If the peasants believe, belief itself has power.”
“Note the wolves. The old sagas speak truth.”
“The Church cannot be trusted here—its loyalty is bought with his coin. We must own him, not their priests.”
“Arrange discreet surveillance of the estate. Avoid confrontation. If he does not appear, then compel the land itself to yield him.”
“If he is as they say, he will reveal himself when challenged. Ensure I am informed personally.”

SS-Ahnenerbe Incident Report – Subject: Graf Klaus von Nibelheim
Classification: Geheim (Secret)
Date: 3 March 1944
Incident Summary
Location: Innsbruck garrison office and adjoining street
Date/Time: 27 February 1944, 13:00 hrs
Personnel Involved:
Sturmbannführer Karl Weigand (Ahnenerbe)
Oberleutnant Franz Reitter (liaison)
Civilian employee Hans Bauer
Panzer II unit, two-man crew (names redacted)
Details
Civilian Bauer was brought for questioning regarding administrative irregularities at the von Nibelheim estate.
During questioning, Bauer displayed signs of nervous agitation and—without provocation—seized a sidearm from the desk and fatally shot himself. Death instantaneous.
In the ensuing confusion, sentries stationed outside reported the sudden absence of a Panzer II.
Material Discrepancy
Investigation determined the vehicle was relocated under emergency orders from Vienna.
Orders, transmitted by teleprinter, were not properly logged at the Innsbruck station.
Crew whereabouts unverified; presumed transferred to eastern maneuvers.
Paperwork inconsistencies attributed to administrative error during reallocation.
Witness Accounts
Several civilian witnesses described the vehicle as “vanishing” suddenly. These accounts are dismissed as the product of confusion following the gunshot inside the garrison.
Military police report no tracks or signs of transport, though streets were crowded at the time and may have obscured traces.
To avoid further rumor, all civilian accounts have been suppressed and individuals warned against further discussion.
Conclusion
Civilian Bauer: ruled suicide due to mental instability.
Panzer II: recorded as requisitioned for redeployment, paperwork corrected retroactively.
Subject von Nibelheim XXVIII: present on premises, but not implicated in either incident.
Case considered closed.
Signed,
Sturmbannführer Karl Weigand
