HITLER BERGHOF SOUVENIRS - OBERSALZBERG

SOUVENIRS GATHERED FROM
THE SITE OF ADOLF HITLER’S
BERGHOF AND GUEST HOUSE
ON THE OBERSALZBERG
ABOVE BERCHTESGADEN

For many years German Chancellor Adolf Hitler had a holiday home with a magnificent view on the Obersalzberg high above the small Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden. First known as Haus Wachenfeld Hitler vastly expanded it in the mid 1930s and renamed it the Berghof or Mountain Home. He and his entourage, and invited guests spent a lot of time there, winter and summer, inside the SS guarded compound known as the Führergebiet.

The house was bombed to bits by the British Air Force in the very last days of World War II.

It stood in ruins until 1952 when it was leveled with explosives. Over the years since then the town of Berchtesgaden has spent a great deal of money attempting to dismantle, destroy, carry away, bury or otherwise obliterate surface evidence that Hitler, Göring, Bormann, Speer and other top Nazis ever lived on the Obersalzberg. Very recently they encouraged the erection of an enormous, ugly, modern Intercontinental Hotel on the very spot where Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring once had his alpine home, and they leveled the historic Hotel Platterhof to create a parking lot for an anti-Nazi "Interpretive Center" where Hitler's guesthouse once stood.

AN AUTHENTIC, DOCUMENTED ORIGINAL PIECE
OF HITLER’S NAZI GUESTHOUSE FROM THE
OBERSALZBERG ABOVE BERCHTESGADEN

Over a decade ago the government of the town of Berchtesgaden, Bayern (Bavaria), Germany ordered the destruction of the Guesthouse of German Chancellor Adolf Hitler inside the Hitler Gebiet or “Hitler Compound” on the Obersalzberg.

It was simply another in a series of efforts on their part to obliterate all traces of Hitler and the Nazis within the political jurisdiction of the town of Berchtesgaden.

For over 60 years the Guesthouse, where Benito Mussolini once stayed, stood next to Hitler’s own mountain home, and after 1945 next to the ruins of the Berghof. It was the ONLY building in the Hitler area on the Obersalzberg in its ORIGINAL CONDITION.

It might have been easily restored but was instead demolished to make way for an Anti-Nazi Interpretive Center below the Platterhof Hotel.

Before Hitler’s Guesthouse was torn down, remaining portions of the soffit (the molded panels under the eves of the roof) were removed and saved. In order to provide parking for visitors to the Anti-Nazi Interpretive Center next to the ruins of the Berghof, the historic Platterhof Hotel was leveled and the ground it stood on was paved over.

The 2-3/4 x 7 inch relic shown in our top photo and offered here, is AN ACTUAL PIECE of that original pine soffit (S) from Hitler’s Guesthouse on the Obersalzberg above Berchtesgaden, Germany, removed in 1996.

It is laser engraved as shown with the details of what it is, and the back side of the mounting bracket has a signed Certificate of Authenticity containing all specific data about its provenance. Each piece varies very slightly in appearance but the one shown is typical of each.

This documented piece of Nazi Guesthouse soffit is offered for
sale for $90.00 delivered to any address in the United States.
