Hitler was godfather to Göring's daughter, the city of Cologne gave her a Cranach, and she lost the painting in 1968 and her father's estate in 2015

Edda Göring was born in Berlin on 2 June 1938, the only child of Hermann Göring and Emmy Sonnemann. At her baptism at Carinhall on 4 November 1938, Adolf Hitler was her godfather. Among her gifts was a Madonna and Child by Lucas Cranach the Elder, given by the City of Cologne; its Wallraf-Richartz Museum had bought the painting shortly before for 50,000 Reichsmarks^†. Her father died in 1946. In 1948 Bavaria seized his assets. Cologne sued to get the Cranach back. In 1954 Edda forced Bavaria to return jewellery worth 150,000 Deutschmarks that it had seized. The painting case ran through the courts for 14 years. In 1962 one court found that the gift had not been made under pressure^†. In January 1968 the case was decided for Cologne, and the painting went back to the museum. Edda studied law, worked as a clerk in a law firm and in a hospital laboratory, and cared for her mother until Emmy died in 1973. In 2015 she petitioned the Bavarian parliament for enough of her father's seized assets to live on, arguing that the 1948 seizure violated her inheritance rights. The parliament rejected it within minutes, citing the Two Plus Four agreement that ended further claims tied to Germany's Nazi past. She died in Munich on 21 December 2018, aged 80, and was buried in the Waldfriedhof.
