Hitlers Home
Location: Stumpergasse 31; Various sources state that the house was on Stumpergasse 29. Ian Kershaw and Brigitte Hamann say that that number is incorrect. The address Stumpergasse 29 must be a mistake of August Kubizek (Hitlers friend). The room was apartment 17, second stairway.
Today: still there
Together with August Kubizek, his friend from Linz, Hitler rented a room here in 1908. When Kubizek did his military service, Hitler lived there alone for about three months. In November of 1908 he moved to the Felberstrasse. You can rent rooms on Stumpergasse 29, but as you can read above this house is not the actual Hitler house, so a peak inside won’t reveal the right house.

Because the nazi’s didn’t want the truth to come out about Hitler living on the streets, they said he had lived in an apartment in this street. There is no proof he actually lived there.
