Obersalzberg

Obersalzberg is a mountainside near Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, Germany. The area is mostly known for being the location of Adolf Hitler's beloved mountain residence, the Berghof.In the 19th century Germans started going there for vacations. The area is very beautiful and the mountain view is sweeping. Hitler first visited Obersalzberg in 1923 and was so fond of the place that in 1928 he rented Haus Wachenfeld (Berghof). In 1933 he bought the Berghof estate and started to rebuild and expand it. Other Nazi leaders such as Hermann Göring and Martin Bormann also bought estates in the area and by 1935-36 all residents of Obersalzberg were either bought out or kicked out and the area was blocked from public use by a so-called Führersperrgebiet. The area was heavily expanded with military installations for security and support staff, hotels, underground bunkers and air raid shelters. Hitler and Eva Braun spent much time in Obersalzberg in the 1930s. Hitler's last known visit was in July 1944.
