I must admit ,that our little house we can see only on the pictures with the Wachenfeld ,however the map in Hartmann`s book shows the little house above the Berghof and not above the Wachenfeld - so let`s find a picture with little house in Berghof times
that`s what I thought ,the little cabin stood there after remodelling too. What`s really strange ,I have surely seen this pictures of the Berghof many times in the past ,but never spot our little cabin?
Hi all,
That's one of my favorite aspects of this forum - it brings things to my attention that I never noticed before. Thanks for those new photos, Ernie and Peter!

That's Johnnyrocket, on one of his time travel expeditions.

As mentioned before in much earlier posts, there are some brick foundations of very small dimensions still standing immediately above the remains of the Berghof but I think Geoff explained that these were for a water reservoir or something similar. I did take a photo of what I assume is still a bomb crater from the air raid and in the background can be seen the faint outlines of this structure. These remains are as far as I can remember directly behind and above the Berghof.
I don't know what it is but there are brick ruins of a small structure above and behind the Berghof, that is the ruins are behind the retaining wall. I seem to remember that if you stand behind the L shape in the retaining wall, facing the back of the Berghof, these ruined foundations are to your left.
Mannheim, I think what you are describing is one of the cable shafts, for access to the electrical and phone cables that ran underground. A small rectagular hole, lined with bricks, with smaller round access holes in the side, and a frame on top where there used to be a cover? You can see these in various places on the
Obersalzberg - there are four or five of them going up the hill behind the Berghof, toward the Platterhof site.
Well, though, your location sounds like that concrete water reservoir. But it's concrete, not brick. The cable shaft that I am thinking of is just above the retaining wall behind the Adjutancy side (and others going up the hill behind there).
