Adolf Hitler's birthplace in Braunau am Inn, Austria, has been officially inaugurated as a police station. This action was taken to prevent the building from becoming a pilgrimage site for those who glorify the Nazi dictator. A memorial stone with an inscription about freedom, democracy, and the dangers of fascism will remain outside the house. Hitler was born in the building on April 20, 1889, but his family moved to another residence in Braunau am Inn shortly after. The building's transformation into a police station aims to erase its association with Nazism.
