The Berghof was Adolf Hitler's holiday home in the Obersalzberg of the Bavarian Alps near Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, Germany. Other than the Wolfsschanze ("Wolf's Lair"), his headquarters in East Prussia for the invasion of the Soviet Union, he spent more time here than anywhere else during his time as the Führer of Nazi Germany. It was also one of the most widely known of his headquarters,[1] which were located throughout Europe.
The Berghof was rebuilt and renamed in 1935 and was Hitler's holiday residence for ten years. It was damaged by British bombs in late April 1945, and again in early May by retreating SS troops, and it was looted after Allied troops reached the area. The Bavarian government demolished the burned shell in 1952.

The Story behind the Eagle’s Nest

The community of guesthouses, family farms and businesses that once called the Obersalzberg home are the main reason this area became a key location in modern history and home to what we today call the Eagle’s Nest, a compact structure perched atop the Kehlstein mountain some 1834m (6017ft) above sea level.
