When Adolf and August walked from the Klammstrasse across the Promenade into the Landstrasse a boy from Hitlers school came by and asked Hitler how he was doing. Hitler replied: ‘Geht dich einen Dreck an!’. It’s not a site af great historical importance, but the event maybe illustrates the way Hitler thought about school and his fellow students.

Hitler visited the Hermann-Göring-Werke several times. On July 14, 1940 he was there. He also visited the Panzerwerk in Wels (28) on that day. On April 4, 1943 Hitler was at the Hermann-Göring-Werke again. This time he combined it with a visit to the Nibelungenwerk (a tank building company). We found information about the Nibelungenwerk St. Valentin (29), in the region of Linz. It’s in the Steyrer Strasse in St. Valentin. Nicolaus von Below mentions the Nibelungenwerk in St. Florian, another village near Linz, but this must be an incorrect location.

Linz is the city where Adolf Hitler lived when he was an adolescent. He went to school there for a while, but without succes. He was more interested in long walks in and outside the city and in theater. He met his friend August Kubizek here. Urfahr is a small village that has become a part of Linz. Hitlers mother lived there for a while. Leonding is the place whre Hitler lived before they moved to Linz. His father died in Leonding. Both of his parents were burried in the village of Leonding.

HISTORICAL HITLER SITES
House of Stefanie Rabatsch (31)
Location: Kirchengasse 9
Today: The house has been torn down, there’s a building called Ars Electronica Center now.
The so called platonic love of Hitler, Stefanie, lived near the Haupstrasse of Urfahr. When Hitler’s mother got burried the funeral procession went from Linz through Urfahr to Leonding, where his mother was burried in the grave next to his father. Hitler said he had seen Stefanie on that occasion behind the window, looking at the procession. He said he found some consolation in that. If the story is true or just Hitler’s imagination, remains unknown.

Because he didn’t finish the Realschule, he lived in Steyr for a while to go to the Realschule there. His father died in 1903. His mother moved to Linz in 1905, taking her children with her.
