Benedict XVI has renounced the inheritance left by his brother Monsignor Georg, who died on July 1, IlSismografo writes.
The inheritance includes Georg's pieces and musical arrangements, plus a small library, and family photos.
Benedict XVI is the last survivor of the Ratzinger family. His sister Maria (+1991) was not married. Georg's inheritance will go to the Vatican.
KNA.de wrote that Benedict said that he carries his brother's memories "in his heart" and that he can no longer "collect material goods."
