  • 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.

Gómez-Mejiab https://doi.org/10.37625/abr.23.1.3-17 ABSTRACT Tournament theory posits that there are situations where winning matters a lot and, as a result, agent rewards are not proportional to performance. According to tournament theorists, the large pay differentials that exist between organizational levels are intended to motivate agents to exert greater effort in an attempt to win the prize. Although a large corpus of literature on tournaments has emerged over time, little is known about the social dynamics involved in tournaments. This article addresses this gap through a historical narrative concerning how Allied forces in World War II competed to capture Adolf Hitler’s famed Bavarian reception house, known to the world as the Eagle’s Nest.

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.

    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).

  • Berchtesgaden Baudenkmäler
    Regierungsbezirk Oberbayern Berchtesgadener Land Berchtesgaden Berchtesgaden Baudenkmäler E-1-72-116-1 Ensemble Marktplatz. Das Ensemble umfasst den geschlossen bebauten historischen Markt, das bürgerliche Zentrum der Marktgemeinde und der ehemaligen gesamten Fürstpropstei. Es handelt sich um einen Straßenzug, der - nur vom Neuhausbogen von diesem getrennt - sich in südwestlicher Richtung unmittelbar an den Stifts- und Residenzbereich anschließt (vgl. Ensemble Schloßplatz). Nur im Nordteil des Marktes, vor der Durchfahrt zum Stift, konnte sich ein kleiner dreieckiger eigentlicher Platz ausbilden, der durch die alte Stiftstaverne aus dem 16. Jh., das Neuhaus, gegen die Stiftsbauten hin abgegrenzt wird; die etwa zwei Dutzend bürgerlichen Anwesen drängen sich dagegen auf dem nach Südwesten zunehmend schmäleren Bankett eines Ausläufers des Priestersteins, dessen größte Fläche im Osten das Stift einnimmt. Der begrenzte Raum erzwang bis zu vier Geschossen hohe Häuser, die mit ihren giebelständigen, weit vorstehenden Flachsatteldächern zwar alpenländisch bäuerliche Abkunft belegen, in Größe, Bauart und Ausgestaltung aber ebenso ihren bürgerlichen Eigencharakter behaupten wie sie sich auch von den Residenzbauten, vor allem durch ihre Dächer, bewußt unterscheiden. Fast alle Gebäude sind spätmittelalterlichen Ursprungs und wurden jahrhundertelang von den Familien alteingesessener Handelsleute, voran die Holzwaren- und Spielzeugverleger, bewohnt. Die Fassaden einiger dieser durchgängig verputzten Bauten erhielten zu Beginn des 19. Jh. eine reiche, seitdem mehrfach erneuerte Empire- Stuckierung. Mit dem Umbau und der Bemalung des Hirschenhauses, eines Eckgebäudes, durch August v. Thiersch und mit der gotisierenden Ausgestaltung des Marktbrunnens setzte das spätere 19. Jh. besondere Akzente im Platzbild. Die neuere Zeit hat die historischen Bauten weitestgehend bewahrt, allerdings haben großflächige Schaufenster- und Passagen-Einbrüche, z. T. entstellende Wirkung, wie auch durch den Neubau Nr.
