According to The Local, authorities in Austria are set to formally open a police station at the birthplace of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler on Wednesday. The building, located near the German border, has been repurposed for law enforcement use in an effort to deter far-right extremists from making pilgrimages to the site.
The initiative serves as a measure to discourage the site from being used as a focal point for extremist activities. Officials hope that establishing a permanent police presence at the property will effectively prevent the location from becoming a symbolic pilgrimage destination for those associated with the far-right.
