Obersalzberg, near Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, Germany, was made famous by Adolf Hitler when he made it the location of his mountain retreat. As far back as the 19th century, Germans started coming to Obersalzberg for holidays. Hitler first visited Obersalzberg in 1923 and was so fond of the area that in 1928 he rented Haus Wachenfeld (Berghof).

Munich became the capital of the Nazi movement. From 1931, the Nazi Party made the city its administrative center, and the fuhrer had a private residence in Munich until 1945. The SS was founded in the Bavarian capital, and used it as a base from which they were able to spread terror across the whole of the German Reich. Munich, just like Berlin, was to be rebuilt according to Hitler's ideals, with wide boulevards and buildings of monumental grandeur.
