Kampfhäusl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The so-called Kampfhäusl was a small log cabin on the forest property of the mountain health resort Obersalzberg (formerly: Pension Moritz ; from 1928: Platterhof ) in Obersalzberg , at that time still a Gnotschaft of the independent municipality of Salzberg , which has been a district of Berchtesgaden in the Berchtesgadener Land district since 1972 .

history

Dietrich Eckart visited Obersalzberg for the first time in May 1923. The Hitler trial that was named after him led, despite the conviction, to a minimum sentence of five years imprisonment in Landsberg , where he was already dictating the first volume of Mein Kampf to his later deputy Rudolf Hess should have already on December 20, 1924 for his early release on parole. (According to Joachim Fest , the first volume, like the second, was only dictated by Hitler in Obersalzberg after his imprisonment.) The first edition of this volume was then published on July 18, 1925.

Remains of the foundations of the so-called "Kampfhäusl"

In the summer of the same year, after his release from prison, he was a guest under the name Hugo Wolf at the Gebirgskurhaus Obersalzberg guesthouse, which was leased by Bruno Büchner and his wife . He dictated the second part of his manuscript of Mein Kampf to Max Amann, who was his deputy sergeant- major in the First World War , in a small log cabin that stood a little above it on the forest property belonging to the guesthouse, as well as in the Hotel Deutsches Haus in Berchtesgaden . Because of these writings, the wooden hut was later transfigured by his followers as the “Kampfhäusl”.

The Alpengasthof Steiner below the pension that Hitler lived in served Obersalzberg as a post office. Thekla Rasp, the wife of the inn owner, remembers “Dr. Wolf "as follows:

"So he was at books, then when Dr. Wolf, and there I also sent telegrams and I woass no guat, the house was in so oan klonna birch forest, and there was a bed on the right, when I was neingang, in the middle a tiled stove, on the left a table and a chair, and that was all. [...] And Amann is typing on the typewriter. My Mo is there no kemma with the mail. He was already working on “Mein Kampf”. And then he said: "Steffl, you should get one of the first one." And so he got the book, with his own dedication. "

The furnishing of the hut therefore only included a tiled stove as well as a table, a chair and a bed when Mein Kampf was being made .

In the summer of 1928, after the Büchners had acquired the pension and renamed it Pension Platterhof , Hitler also put “his thoughts on German foreign policy” on paper in the log cabin.

According to Ulrich Chaussy, the log cabin was "demolished after 1945", according to Rainer Blasius "demolished in 1951". Only the remains of its foundation remain today . ( → see also: Documentation Obersalzberg )
