Prinzregentenplatz 16

At Prinzregentenplatz 16 in Munich, between 1929 and 1945, Hitler rented a lavish nine-room apartment on the second floor. The apartment was paid by the party and was mainly used for private purposes even if official events took place. Prior to the accession of power in 1933, Hitler spent much time in the apartment because it was in Munich that the Nazi party had its headquarters (Brown house). After the seizure of power, the Nazi political high-seat were moved to Berlin, but Hitler kept the Munich apartment. The times he was in Bavaria he lived at Berghof, Obersalzberg, and rarely in Munich. It was in this apartment that Hitler’s niece, Geli Raubal, committed suicide on September 18, 1931. Exactly why she committed suicide has never really been established. Hitler was deeply affected by her suicide and her room became a shrine which few people were allowed to enter.
