Hitler's Birthplace Now a Police Station | Irvine News
Description
Hitler’s birthplace in Braunau am Inn is now a police station—officially repainted, restructured, and stripped of its Nazi-era symbolism to prevent it from becoming a shrine. After seizing the property in 2017, Austria spent 20 million euros to transform it, even secretly removing debris to stop souvenir hunters. A memorial stone outside still stands as a solemn reminder: “For freedom, democracy and liberty. Never again fascism. Millions of dead remind us.” The move aims to end neo-Nazi pilgrimages while confronting the nation’s dark past with a practical, civic presence.
