Florence [NJ] auto shop owner now owns Hitler's toilet

The toilet in Greg Kohfeldt’s auto shop on West Second Street in Florence has traveled the world.

But its chief distinction is that it was once owned by Adolf Hitler, Kohfeldt says.

But there still seems to be some kind of allure about a toilet that Hitler may have used that brings people to the shop, he said.

“It just grows,” Kohfeldt said. “It seems like every year something brings it back up and more people stop in about it.”

Kohfeldt said on average he will get one or two people a month looking to catch a glimpse of the toilet but after an article or a TV broadcast, the number can jump up to six or 12 people per month.

The infamous toilet has brought people from Boston, Canada and even England, Kohfeldt said.

“It brings people from all over,” he said. “One young lady was pregnant. She wanted to take pictures on the toilet. Asked to come back and take pictures when she had her baby.”

Kohfeldt is in the process of installing a new bathroom and once it’s all done, he said he’s going to probably mount the Hitler toilet on a shelf in the bathroom so that people can still come and see it.

For now, remnants of the sink sit in a box off to the side of the garage while the toilet sits sandwiched between a toy bike and auto repair equipment.

Kohfeldt said he’d be willing to part with the toilet and broken sink if the price were right. “If someone actually had an interest in what is left of the sink and the toilet I would probably sell it,” he said. “But they’d have to have an interest...if someone is just going to offer me $100, it’ll sit here forever.”

Wonder if it’s haunted?

I have an idea for it: It involves a kosher chili supper, and Mein Kampf as toilet paper.

Ever wonder where Hitler’s favorite yacht might be? Answer: US Coast Guard Academy — used by cadets as a training ship.

Good idea, Slings. In fact, it’s perfect, and even better if the toilet really is haunted. Imagine the fury of the Führer!

I have seen said toilet (or another one that Hitler owned) several times. It used to be part of a Hitler "exhibit" that toured gun shows back in the 'seventies. At that time there was also a bathttub, plumbing fixtiures, silverware and table linens displayed with it.

How one documents the authenticity of such items is anyone's guess.

Ah, it was from the Grille. Makes sense.

Hitler disliked that yacht. I believe that he only sailed on it once, and then only briefly. He was indifferent to water recreation in general and preferred his mountain retreat.
