Wolf Rüdiger Hess (German: Wolf Rüdiger Heß; 18 November 1937 – 24 October 2001) was a German architect and far-right activist. He was the only child of Rudolf Hess, Adolf Hitler's deputy in the Nazi Party, and Ilse Hess (née Pröhl). Hitler was his godfather. Hess became known for his lifelong efforts to secure his father's release from prison and subsequently to rehabilitate his reputation. Following his father's death in 1987, he became chairman of the Rudolf Hess Society (German: Rudolf-Heß-Gesellschaft e. V.), a Munich organisation associated with the German far right. He also published several books disputing the circumstances of his father's death.
