Renovation work at Hitler’s birthplace in Braunau is progressing. The Braunau District Police Command and a police station will enter the house. However, everyone involved is faced with strict requirements, because the house continues to attract many people.
Just over a month ago, renovation work on Adolf Hitler’s birthplace began in Braunau. When the local inspection “Krone” took place halfway this week, there was not much to see at the front. And it will remain that way for a long time, because the work on the exterior facade only starts very late in the construction schedule.
Parking lot broken
But heavy equipment had already arrived behind the building in recent days. A former parking lot was demolished. Many old bricks appeared underneath. The problem: monument protection. Every step is carefully monitored by everyone involved. Even the construction waste must be disposed of separately in a landfill. This is apparently intended to prevent souvenir hunters from getting their hands on a piece of the house – even if it is just an old brick.
Disruptions are not desired
In general, it is noticeable that people ensure that they are not disturbed while working. A sign indicates that the area is under video surveillance. In addition, a high wooden fence surrounds the entire construction site, where holes have been sawn in some places. As reported, everything should be ready in the first quarter of 2026. According to the plan, the building will house a police station and the district police command.
