Kampfhäusl
The Kampfhäusl was a small log cabin on the forest property of the former Gebirgskurhauses Obersalzberg in Obersalzberg. The cabin was the location where Adolf Hitler wrote the second volume of Mein Kampf.
History
Dietrich Eckart visited Obersalzberg for the first time in May 1923. The Hitler trial resulted in a minimum sentence of five years in Landsberg Prison, where he dictated the first volume of Mein Kampf to his later deputy Rudolf Hess. Hitler was released on parole early in December 1924. This volume was then published in a first edition on July 18, 1925.In the summer of the same year, after his release from prison, he was a guest under the name "Hugo Wolf" in the Gebirgskurhaus Obersalzberg, which was then leased by Bruno Büchner and his wife. In a small log cabin that stood a little above it on the forest property belonging to the guesthouse, as well as in the Deutsches Haus hotel, he dictated the second part of his manuscript of Mein Kampf to Max Amann, who was his Vizefeldwebel during the First World War. Because of these writings, the Kampfhäusl was given its name by Hitler's supporters.
The Alpengasthof Steiner below the guesthouse where Hitler lived served as a post office in Obersalzberg. Thekla Rasp, the wife of the inn owner, remembers “Dr. Wolf" as follows:
When Mein Kampf was written, the furnishings in the hut only included a tiled stove, a table, a chair and a bed. In the summer of 1928, after the Büchners had purchased the guesthouse and renamed it Pension Platterhof, Hitler also wrote down “his thoughts on German foreign policy” in the log cabin.
According to German author, the log cabin was dismantled after 1945 and, according to historian, demolished in 1951. Today only remnants of its foundation remain.
