  • The Eagle's Nest Is Located in Berchtesgaden
    media information… The Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus 1,834m) The so-called Eagle’s Nest teahouse (Kehlsteinhaus) was offered to Adolf Hitler on the occasion of his 50th birthday with the aim of using it for representation purposes for official guests. The challenging construction of the Eagle’s Nest, including the access road was completed in some 13 months’ time. The road leading up to the Eagle’s Nest upper bus terminal area is Germany’s highest and is considered a unique feat of engineering. The brass-line elevator that gives access to the summit is also a distinctive feature of this world-famous attraction. Today the Eagle’s Nest is open to the public and can be seen in its original form. Thanks to its many visitors, proceeds from this sightsseing attraction are used for charitable purposes. Location: The Eagle's Nest is located in Berchtesgaden. Special mountain buses depart every 25 min from Obersalzberg (Kehlsteinbusabfahrt). The journey takes about a quarter of an hour each way. From the parking area at the top, visitors walk 124m (406ft) through a tunnel to the original elevator. The lift transports up to 46 passengers at a time up into the Eagle's Nest building. Local Events and cultural highlights: Road and weather conditions permitting, the building and its road access are open from around mid-May through October. On clear days, visitors to the Eagle’s Nest are rewarded with spectacular views over the Berchtesgaden area, Lake Königssee and Salzburg, as well as with a grandiose mountain panorama of the majestic Berchtesgaden Alps.

November 9th 1923, the Nazi Party with Hitler as its leader felt strong enough to kick the Bavarian G-overnement out of its sad- dle. The marching Nazis when reaching the Odeonsplatz in Munich, were odered to stop. After ignoring the order tostop, they were fired upon and a total of 16 men were killed by machinegun fire. The Nazi Party thereafter was declared as illegal and was forbidden by law. Hitler himself, as the head and leader of the party was cobvicted to spend five years in jail. 2. The"BLOODFLAG", under which the first 16 Nazi victims were killed on November 9th 1923 on the Odeonsplatz at Munich* Later on this flag only was shown to the public when political events of im- portant nature took place. More or less, this flag was considered as a symbol of the party. 3. Hitler in his cell during imprisonment 1924 at Landsberg/Lech The party which had been forbidden, went underground so it couldn't be controlled by governement officials. Fin^llythe Bavarian governe- ment decided to set Hitler free because of J~oo much dangerous un- derground activities of the illegal Nazi party. 4.

  • OBERSALZBERG Gegen Ende Des 19. Jahrhunderts War Das Dorf Obersalzberg Ein Beliebter Heilklimatischer Erholungsort
    PastFinder Ob4 12.05.2005 17:08 Uhr Seite 3 2 Obersalzberg Obersalzberg 3 OBERSALZBERG Gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts war das Dorf Obersalzberg ein beliebter heilklimatischer Erholungsort. Nachdem Hitler als Reichskanzler 1933 hier das Haus „Wachenfeld“ erworben hatte, wurden die alteingesessenen Bewohner von Martin Bormann brutal vertrieben. Hitler ließ sein Ferienhaus zum pompösen „Berghof“ erwei- tern, andere NS-Größen folgten seinem Beispiel. Systematisch bauten die Nazis das Gelände zum streng abgeschirmten, zweiten Regierungssitz aus. Es enstanden eine SS-Kaserne, das spektakuläre „Kehlsteinhaus“ und ein weitläufiges Bunkersystem. Das Kriegsende fand hier jedoch ohne Hitler statt, er sollte im Berliner „Führerbunker“ Selbstmord begehen. 1 Im Laufe des Krieges mussten Arbeiter Gutshof Martin Bormann / die so genannten Gutshofstollen von Golfclub Berchtesgaden e.V. insgesamt 1,1 Kilometern Länge in den q 1940 p Salzbergstr. 33, Karte B2 angrenzenden Antenberg treiben.

It examines the developments in the period between 1933 and 1955. During this time high-ranking Nazis, local residents, tourists and pilgrims appropriated the house for their purposes by creating various narratives about this space. As unimportant as the house might have been to Hitler himself from the point of view of sentimentality and childhood nostalgia, it had great propaganda value for promoting the image of the private Führer. Braunau itself was turned into a tourist destination and pilgrimage site during the Nazi period—and beyond.

  • The Kehlsteinhaus – Hitler's Eagle's Nest * * * an Exposé on the Successful Engineering Feats of a Remarkable Building Pr
    The Kehlsteinhaus – Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest * * * An exposé on the successful engineering feats of a remarkable building program that battled against time, snow, and rugged terrain. COA 4010 History of Building Construction George Doyle May 5, 2016 Sitting atop the Bavarian Alps of Berchtesgaden at 6017 feet, the construction of the Kehlsteinhaus commenced in April of 1937. Hitler’s private secretary, Martin Bormann, initiated the massive building program aimed to be complete for Hitler’s 50th birthday celebration on April 20, 1939. Successfully overcoming the time constraint and intense weather conditions, Bormann and his crew of around 3,000 men completed the construction project of Hitler’s Kehlsteinhaus in only 13 months. The project was led under a multitude of inspectors, engineers, and military leaders in addition to the project visionary, Martin Bormann. General Inspector for German road maintenance Dr. Ing. Fritz Todt worked alongside Bormann starting in 1937, where an initial phase of material transportation was made possible through an extensive roadway system up the Kehlstein Mountain. Complex systems of cables, pulleys, and hoists were designed and implemented under Todt and Bormann’s laborers. These mechanisms were created on-site to transport stone and other materials both on and off steeper portions of the mountainside throughout multi-lateral construction phases. Bormann’s laborers, mostly consisting of Italian stonemasons, who used the simplest of tools to work the stones for this project. Obsessed with the project representing the Third Reich, Bormann considered this site as the symbolic beginning of a new era in the field of construction (Fabritius, 10).
