Benediktiner Monastery/ Boarding School Sängerknaben
Location: Bahnhofstrasse on the Klosterplatz, across the street from Gasthof Leingartner
Today: The monastery is still there
In the winter of 1897/98 Adolf Hitler lived in the Internat of the Benedictine Monastry of Lambach. In the northwing of the building was the Sängerknaben-Institut, opposite to the Volksschule. An old wooden staircase led to the classrooms and above them were the sleepingrooms of the Sängerknaben. Hitlers teacher heard his good voice so he let him sing with the Saengerknaben. In the schoolyear of 1897-1898 Hitler did the third grade of the Volksschule here. The Volksschule was at the Bahnhofstrasse 1. It is not longer there.
In the yard of the Kloster is a well with a stone archway over it. The shield on it shows a swastika. The shield is dated 1860, long before Hitler was born. There is some discussion about if this was of any influence on the choice of the swastika as a symbol for the nazi-movement. In Mein Kampf Hitler says at that time he wanted to become an abbot when he grew up. The mythical beauty around him made quite an impression on the young Hitler.

Farm Rauschergut
Location: Am Almsteg 29 (private property)
Coordinates: 48’ 05’O4.54”N 13’ 55’13.11”E
Today: still there
The farm in Hafeld is in the homemovies of Eva Braun, as is the school in Fischlham. It must be easy to find it. Alois Hitler bought this small farm in 1895. They lived there untill 1897. Adolf went to (his first) school in Fischlham. Hafeld is a village that appears to be bigger than it is. The houses are widely separated from each other by fields or fruit gardens. The Hitler house stands on a little elevation. It is hidden in an orchard. Another orchard runs up by the side.

For two years he doesn’t do much but walk and go to Wagner concerts with his friend August Kubizek.
