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. A short uphill walk to the summit of Mount Kehlstein, as well as a longer, circular hike, are pleasant ways of getting closer to nature at a high elevation. Today, the structure houses a café / restaurant, serving food and refreshments till late afternoon. Dinners with live musical entertainment are offered several times during the summer season and can be booked for exclusive festive occasions. Guided Tours/ Languages: Educational and historical tours featuring the construction and use of the Eagle's Nest, as well as of Obersalzberg with its Documentation Center and underground bunkers are offered in English, German, French and Italian.

FOREWORD Nature conservation and protected areas continue to offer hope to the world un- der circumstances through which the planet faces many profound challenges. De- spite the ongoing destruction and degradation of natural ecosystems as a result of human development, persistent poverty, natural and man-made disasters and accel- erating global climate change, the protected area systems of the world continue to grow in number and extent and attract an increasing share of investment of gov- ernments, development agencies and a wide variety of public and private interests. The Protected Planet Report 2012 provides quantitative measures of this success. It also points towards challenges that remain pertinent, including the challenge of achieving most dimensions of protected area quality. Despite of all the good work, there remain many situations in which protected areas are not managed effectively and at the same time degraded, in which poor governance results in ongoing con- flict and harm, and either as a result of or perhaps leading to situations of unsus- tainable financing.

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.

Mixon, Jr.a and Luis R. 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.
