# Hitler's birthplace in Austria reopened as police station

The house in Braunau am Inn, Austria, where Adolf Hitler was born, has been converted into a police station and reopened. Austrian authorities undertook this measure to prevent the site from becoming a pilgrimage destination for neo-Nazis. The repurposing marks a definitive move to strip the building of its historical notoriety.
