I am not sure that street addresses were used on the Obersalzberg. There never were a great number of homes. Even today the Hotel Zum Turken which is just up the hill from the site of the Berghof doesn't appear to have a street address.

I will have to check some period records for the Berghof/Wachenfeld addresses, but the public buildings there today use the old system of addressing in Germany and Austria - the address of the village and a number - no street names. So that the Tuerken's address is Hintereck 2, the InterConti Hotel is Hintereck 1, the Holzkaefer Restaurant is Buchenhoehe 40, etc. On the other hand, the Gutshof does have a street address - Salzbergstrasse 33, the Documentation Center is Salzbergstr. 41, and the restaurant where the Platterhof used to be is Salzbergstr. 43. As far as addresses go today, it appears that those businesses/houses along the main road from Berchtesgaden do have a street address, while those that are off this main road do not. I would suspect that also held true in the 1930s-40s, but I will try to find out for sure.

Hello,

from "Der alte Obersalzberg bis 1937" :

-Hinterecklehen was Untersalzberg 1
-Gasthaus Hintereck was Untersalzberg 1 1/2
-Obertallehen was Untersalzberg 6
-Kindersanatorium Dr. Seitz/Villa Seitz (Bormann) was Obersalzberg 18
-Haus Hess (near the later Kasernen-Verwaltungsbuilding) was Obersalzberg 28
-Marienhäusl (close to Haus Hess) was Obersalzberg 7a
-Bodnerlehen (above Hotel Türken) was Obersalzberg 6a
-Hotel Türken ...hmm a part of the Türken was the formerly "Jakobsbichllehen", it had number 9
-Freidlinglehen (the "Good neighbour Rasp") was Obersalzberg 10
-Pension Moritz (Platterhof) was Obersalzberg 5
-Clubheim (today Dokumentationsstelle) was Obersalzberg 5 1/2
-Waltenberger Heim (Speers house) was Obersalzberg 20
-Baumgartlehen (afterwards the Schweinestall of the Gutshof) was Obersalzberg 13

Villa Bechstein and, as it seems, Haus Wachenfeld, were in the register not with an own housenumber. The Bechstein-Villa had the Flur(Fields?)-number 93 a, Wachenfeld the Flurnumber 123 a.

Greetings
Ralf

Why is the aspect ratio messed up on the avatars? I keep seeing my avatar (at the top right of the window)as an oval and not a circle?

Thanks Rob, I just did it...boy that "tank distroyer" patch image looks good. I chose this one because my dad was in that division during the war...I always marveled at that patch when I was a kid 50 years ago. Good to get this thread back going again.

A little trivia question here...What type of wood did they use for The Berghof's beautiful paneled Dining room?

They used a lot of conifer wood and fossil tree in the Reichskanzlei, I think on the Berghof too.
