Hitler's Birthplace Becomes a Police Station in Austria
Ten years after the Austrian government seized the three-story building, Adolf Hitler's birthplace is officially opening as a police precinct.
The building where Adolf Hitler was born near the Austrian border with Germany is officially starting its new life as a police station on Wednesday. The move comes a decade after the Austrian government seized the controversial three-story structure.
- The building is located in Braunau, Austria, near the German border.
- It officially begins its new life as a police station on Wednesday.
- The Austrian government seized the three-story building ten years ago.
WHY THIS MATTERSWHY THIS MATTERS: It costs you nothing and changes zero aspects of your daily routine, unless your commute involves filing a noise complaint in Braunau. It’s essentially just a masterclass in bureaucratic anti-troll architecture.
