Hotel Deutsches Haus
Maximilian Strasse 6
Today: Sparkasse (Bank)
Adolf Hitler stayed in this hotel (with breaks) for two years. He wrote a part of the second part of Mein Kampf here.
A lot of political friends came over and stayed in the hotel. At ground level the family Reiter had a clothes shop. Hitler saw the daughter Mimi Reiter once playing with a dog in the Kurparks nearby. He talked with her in the park. A short affair follows. She dies in 1992 (lonely and as an alcoholic) with the idea that she was the most important love Hitler ever had.
