Braunau Am Inn: The Austrian government plans to convert the building where Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was born into a police station, bringing an end to years of uncertainty about the property's future.

Hitler was born in the building in Braunau am Inn in 1889. For decades, officials have been frightened that the site may become a destination for Nazi sympathisers and a pilgrimage site for Hitler followers.

The reconstruction aims to provide the structure a clear public role while preventing it from becoming a place of glorification. The proposed police station is expected to house offices and training facilities for the Austrian police force. The decision comes after years of debate about how to handle the historically significant property.
