Exploring Hitler's Berghof Residence in Ruins at the Berchtesgaden, 1947, F867

Hitler developed a residence in the Berchtesgaden region of the Bavarian Alps called the Berghof (which means mountain farm). He was very fond of this location, and it was here that he made some of his most important political decisions. The complex was badly damaged by an allied bombing raid on April 25th, 1945.
Here we see amateur cine footage showing a lady wandering around the ruins of the once favoured home of Hitler in 1947. The lady explores the damaged interior, and clearly this was a site of some interest even then. I believe little remains of the original buildings today as seen here.
This footage is filmed on 16mm Kodachrome stock...so it has survived quite well as a record of the ruins.
Obviously, this is an historical document and not intended as an endorsement of anything other than the lasting qualities of Kodachrome film stock.

I visited the area in October 2018,Berchtesgaden is an absolutely beautiful location and the Berghof site a place of historical interest as are other locations in the vicinity.The Hotel Zum Turken next door to the Berghof still stands and we paid about £2 each to explore the tunnel system beneath the hotel which were used as escape routes in case of attack. The SS took over the hotel as it was in close proximity to Hitler and they were his bodyguards so to speak. Another interesting and stunning place a 25 minute walk by the nearby golf course is the site of the Mooslahnerkopf Teehaus a place Hitler would visit daily while he was in residence, the site has a fence on the mountain overlooking Berchtesgaden and you have the most wonderful views overlooking the whole area.Even if you have no interest in the unfortunate dark history it is a fine place to visit due to the natural beauty so don't be put off.We were staying in Salzburg and the bus ride was only about 45 minutes.

I explored the Berghof in 1982. Only the foundations were left standing but I could still see the floor plan and where the large window used to be thus seeing the same view Hitler had. I also went down into the basement with a flashlight. It was filled with debris. Also walked around Goering's resident. It was pretty incredible to be there knowing that I was in Hitler's residence. The Berghof area in 1982 was unmarked and not fenced off, you just had to know where you were going.

There is only the retaining walls left and a lot of trees, and nothing else. The remains are literally within walking distance from the parking lot of the buses that take you to the Eagles nest. An older German gentleman told me where it was after I asked him and went and saw it while waiting for the bus to go back to Munich. I saw the hotel Zum Turken as well, just a few yards away. I even picked up a couple of Rock souvenirs from the site. I wont forget this day for a long time

I think the actual bomb damage wasn’t so great, but the building was burned by the Germans before the surrender.

Great film... too bad we couldn't see Hitler's bedroom and private area. That would have been great to see

An American journalist in 1946 who toured it, he said that Eva Braun's bathroom had emerald green floor tiles.

I really wish that Germany took a preservation approach to history, instead of trying to destroy it and hide it.

[@user-wj6dt5bq3w]

They take a political approach.

All the stone & brickwork survived the British NIGHT bombing. The incendiary bombs 💣 took care of all the woodwork. Still largely intact though.

I enjoyed HBO series “Band of Brothers” 101st AB 506th Easy Company parachuted into NAZI occupied France on D-Day and 10 months later captured the Berghof and sat in chairs for Hitler’s inner circle and drank Goring’s wine. War booty!

It's not "Berchtesgarden", it's "Berchtesgaden".
