Her father died at the age of 31 when Geli was two. She and Elfriede accompanied their mother when she became Hitler's housekeeper in 1925; Raubal was 17 at the time and spent the next six years in close contact with her half-uncle,{{sfn|Bullock|1999|p=393}} who was 19 years her senior. Her mother was given a position as housekeeper at the [[Berghof (residence)|Berghof]]{{efn|The Berghof was called "Haus Wachenfeld" until Hitler purchased and expanded the property in 1933.{{sfn|Kershaw|2000|pp=282–284, 686}} }} near [[Berchtesgaden]] in 1928.{{sfn|Kershaw|2008|p=177}} Raubal moved into [[Hitler's Munich apartment]] in 1929 when she enrolled in medicine at [[Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich|Ludwig Maximilian University]] but she did not complete her studies.{{sfn|Görtemaker|2011|p=43}}

As Hitler rose to power as leader of the [[Nazi Party]], he was domineering and possessive of Raubal, keeping control of her.{{sfn|Kershaw|2008|p=219}} When he discovered in December 1927 that she was having a relationship with his chauffeur, [[Emil Maurice]], he forced her to end the affair and dismissed Maurice from his service.{{sfn|Görtemaker|2011|p=43}}{{sfn|Kershaw|2008|p=220}} After that he did not allow her to associate with friends and attempted to have himself or someone he trusted near her at all times, accompanying her on shopping trips, to the cinema and to the opera.{{sfn|Kershaw|2008|p=219}}
