There is not much information available on the internet about Hitler in Sachsen-Anhalt. Local archives must have more than we can present here at this time. We’re looking forward to receiving more information. Tips concerning good (local) literature with information about Hitler visiting Sachsen-Anhalt are very welcome. Please send us an e-mail. In the meantime we’ll keep on looking.
‘Vor den Toren of Halle’
Location: unknown
A unclear source says that in April 1932 Hitler spoke at a mass meeting in front of the Toren of Halle.
Soviet SMERSH service
Location: Westendstrasse 36, now Klausenstrasse 23 (point located on Google Earth)
Today: SMERSH has gone
The remains of Hitler, his wife and the Goebbels family were burried in the garden of the compound on Westendstrasse 36 on 13th January 1946, where the so called Soviet SMERSH service was stationed. There is discusion about when the grave was cleared by the KGB. Some say it was on the 4th of April in 1970 and others say it was in 1982. For sure is that parts of the skull and the jaw of Hitler were brought to Moskou, together with the leg prothese of Goebbels. Other remains were thrown into the river Elbe. The remains of Hitler and Goebbels are in the Russian State Archives underneath the Kremlin. The Russian government has shown the remains to journalists, and there was a documentary made of this event, in which also some clothes of Hitler were shown.

Kristallpalast (Palais Branconi)
Location: Zerbster Strasse 36
Today: only the front is still there (there is nothing behind it...) , the Kristalpalast burned down in 1945
After a lot of high nazi’s spoke at the Kristallpalast in Dessau, Hitler was there in October of 1931. He spoke in Dessau again on Juli 23, 1932, but since the Kristallpalast wasn’t big enough he spoke in the open air (location: unknown).
