    Event History
    In the 1920s Adolf Hitler established a mountain retreat for himself on the Obersalzberg, above Berchtesgaden, in the southeast corner of Bavaria. It was known as the Berghof and consisted of a large chalet and estate. Later, the Nazi hierarchy turned the Obersalzberg into a huge complex, with homes for themselves, military barracks, tunnel and bunker complexes, and the Kehlsteinhaus, or "Eagles Nest." The Berghof was captured at the beginning of May 1945 by troops with the 101st U.S. Airborne Division.
