The aim of the project is to deter people who glorify the Nazi leader from visiting the site.
Work has started on turning the house in Austria where Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 into a police station.
On Monday, workers put up fencing and started taking measurements for the construction work. The police are expected to occupy the premises in early 2026.A years-long back-and-forth tussle over the ownership of the house preceded the overhaul project. The question was resolved in 2017 when Austria’s highest court ruled that the government was within its rights to expropriate the building after its owner refused to sell it. A suggestion it might be demolished was dropped.
The Austrian government argues that having the police, as the guardians of civil liberties, move in is the best use for the building. But there has been criticism of the plan.
