Work has started on turning the house in Austria where Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 into a police station.
FILE - An exterior view of Adolf Hitler's birth house, front, in Braunau am Inn, Austria, on Sept. 27, 2012. Work started Monday Oct. 2, 2023 on turning the house where Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 into a police station, a project meant to make it unattractive as a site of pilgrimage for people who glorify the Nazi dictator.
On Monday, workers put up fencing and started taking measurements for the construction work.The police are expected to occupy the premises in early 2026. The building had been rented by Austria’s Interior Ministry since 1972 to prevent its misuse, and was sublet to various charitable organizations. It stood empty after a care center for adults with disabilities moved out in 2011.
The Austrian government argues that having the police, as the guardians of civil liberties, move in is the best use for the building. But there has been criticism of the plan.
