Hitler’s Austrian birthplace reopens as a police station to deter neo-Nazis

Austria has converted Adolf Hitler's former birthplace into a police station to reduce its appeal as a site for neo-Nazi gatherings. The building, located in Braunau am Inn near the German border, retains a memorial stone with anti-fascist messages outside. Hitler was born there in 1889 before moving to Passau, Germany. The transformation followed a lengthy ownership dispute and a multi-year renovation costing around €20 million. Austria's Interior Minister emphasized the country's commitment to confronting its historical legacy, noting the atrocities committed under Hitler's regime, including the deaths of six million Jews during the Holocaust and the global devastation of World War II.
