Have to tip my hat to the Austrians – Austria is a lovely country, pretty girls, good beer, solid German-style food. Unfortunately, though, it was also the birthplace of Adolph Hitler, who certainly needs no introduction, back in 1889. Not their fault, Hitler Sr. was a civil servant who happened to live there at the time.<\/p>\n

The decision on the future of the building in Braunau am Inn, a town on Austria’s border with Germany, was made in late 2019. Plans call for a police station, the district police headquarters and a security academy branch where police officers will get human rights training.<\/p>\n

A years-long back-and-forth over the ownership of the house preceded the overhaul project. The question was resolved in 2017 when Austria\u2019s highest court ruled that the government was within its rights to expropriate the building after its owner refused to sell it.<\/p>\n

The building had been rented by Austria\u2019s Interior Ministry since 1972 to prevent its misuse, and was sublet to various charitable organizations. It stood empty after a care center for adults with disabilities moved out in 2011.<\/p>\n

You would think somebody on a list of potential terrorists like the some of the neo-Nazis might be a little reluctant to place a police station<\/em> high of the places to visit?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
