The
Haus zum Türken
in Obersalzberg.
The Türkenhaus was a popular resort hotel until it was taken over in 1933 by
the German government because it was next door to the
Berghof,
Hitler's house. Göring, Bormann, Speer, and other prominent Nazis also had
homes in the immediate area, in a compound that also included SS barracks,
bunkers, etc — about 50 buildings in all — plus a
network of tunnels. Most of these structures were badly damaged towards the
end of the war. The remains of the Berghof and other Nazi residences were
blown up by the Bavarian government in 1952.
The Türkenhaus was also damaged by the bombing but it was rebuilt as a hotel
after the war and reopened about 1950.
