BERLIN — After years of wrangling over the future of the butter-yellow house in Austria where Hitler was born, authorities have decided to turn the building into a police station, in a bid make it less of a magnet for neo-Nazis.
The building has posed a problem for authorities for the past seven decades. The building’s owner had refused for years to renovate it, making tenants hard to find. Admirers of Hitler, born there in 1889, kept returning. A redesign competition for the building’s new purpose will begin this month, with work on the building to start next year, Peschorn said.
Story continuesAfter World War II, veterans from Austria and neighboring Germany flocked to the house, especially on Hitler’s birthday. Although the neo-Nazi supporters had dwindled recently, the house remained under constant surveillance for potential problems.
