I can ask the Groundskeeper via email; but I think he already told me Misch never went there, maybe something along the lines that it was too emotional for him.

The reason I say Speer probably did is because he was quite the traveler in his early years; being his house was still there and all, I can't imagine he didn't at least make a drive through.

It would also be high odds that Himmeler's daughter did as well, I think maybe her and Frau S are friends. But can't remember that for sure; the medical stuff I am on has destroyed my short term memory.
thank you I would appreciate that, if you could email your friend. Would love to know for sure which people visited their after the war. Thanks!

Some other postwar visitors were Heinrich Hoffmann and his daughter Henriette (wife of Baldur von Schirach), along with Dr. Theo Morell's widow Hanni. During a visit in the summer of 1954 they had coffee in the Türken, then visited the Berghof site and the Teehaus ruins. Henriette von Schirach described this visit in her memoirs Der Preis der Herrlichkeit (1975).

Thank you for the last reply, very interesting. Would you happen to know if any of them were warmly received? Also would you know if Karl Wolff ever went back?

No, I haven't seen anything about Karl Wolff there.

Maybe a little off-topic, but did Heinrich Hoffmann publish any photos of the destroyed Obersalzberg buildings? I know Ernst Baumann, Leopold Ammon, Michael Lochner and others continued to take pictures and sell postcards of the Obersalzberg area after the war (although Lochner said in an interview that he hadn't been up there since the family was forced to leave the Baumgartmuehle in 1937).

Schulze and Günsche. The photo was taken in the 1950s by Monika Schulze Kossens, I think the wife of Schulze in the Berghof ruins.

Published in John Toland´s bio Hitler.
