Most pictures have been made in november 2016, while there was talk of taking the house down.It seems like the property was disowned.

Left: Close to the birth house of Adolf Hitler, walking towards the Stadttor, is a building with this drawing on it. It shows the execution of Josef Palm, who was killed by the French in 1806. He gets mentioned on the first pages of Mein Kampf, as a sort of early inspiration of Hitler.

On April 20, 1889 Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, in a Gasthof that belonged to a family called Dafner. Years later, when Austria became part of Germany, Hitler came back to his birthplace. In 1928/1929 Eva Braun, who didn’t know Adolf Hitler then, was in a boarding school in Simbach, right across the river from Braunau.

Hitler on the Stadtplatz in Braunau  (picture: Heinrich Hoffmann, 1938)

Hitler visits Braunau (1938)

Location: Stadplatz

Today: Still there

When Hitler visited Braunau in 1938 he was driven from the bridge over the Inn across the Stadtplatz to the Salzburger Vorstadt (the street where he was born).

The Stadtplatz (picture: De Boer/Vermeulen, the Hitlerpages, 2016) The background buildings on the picture with Hitler on it, still exist. The difference in hight of the tower is caused by the fact that Hitler and his photographer are standing in a car. (picture: De Boer/Vermeulen,  the Hitlerpages, 2016) Left and centre: At the end of the Stadtplatz is a tower. On the other side of the tower the street Salzurger Vorstadt begins. This picture was taken from the side of the Salzburger Vorstadt.
