Hitler's Birthplace Transformed: From Infamy to Law Enforcement

Work has begun on transforming the house in Braunau am Inn, Austria, where Adolf Hitler was born, into a police station in an effort to deter Nazi glorification. The decision to repurpose the building was made in 2019, and the police are expected to occupy the premises in early 2026. The Austrian government believes that having the police stationed there is the best use for the building, but there has been criticism regarding the lack of historical contextualization. Some argue in favor of showcasing an exhibition on those who saved Jews during the Nazi era.

Hitler's Birthplace Transformed into Police Station in Austria

Austria plans to convert Adolf Hitler's birthplace in Braunau am Inn into a police station, aiming to rid it of its neo-Nazi pilgrimage site status. However, this decision is met with resistance from various groups, including a citizens' association and a filmmaker who made a documentary about the town. The search for an appropriate use of the house has been ongoing for years, with a commission recommending a socially charitable or official-administrative use to break through the symbolism of the site. The proposal to permanently display a traveling exhibition about courageous non-Jewish people who saved Jews during the Holocaust is also being considered. Construction work on the police station is set to begin in October.
