Facade of Hitler's Birthplace Displayed at the hdgö in Vienna

Effective immediately, the stone slabs from Hitler's birthplace are integrated into the main exhibition "New Times: Austria since 1918" of the museum in the Neue Hofburg.

Stone Slabs from Hitler's Birthplace Part of hdgö Exhibition

"Hitler's birthplace in Braunau and the Neue Hofburg with the 'Hitler Balcony' have a lot in common: Both were used by Nazi propaganda, both were flagship projects of National Socialist cultural policy with great external impact," said hdgö Director Monika Sommer in a press release on Tuesday. To this day, they are internationally known "disturbing" places, the use of which in the present in a democratic constitutional state must be extensively discussed.

The stone slabs are now part of the chronologically arranged exhibition area "Power Images!". This installation illuminates, with the help of posters, photographs, original objects, interactive stations and audiovisual media, how Austrian contemporary history is depicted.
