| The house where Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 is to be torn down and replaced with a new building, the Austrian government has said. | |
| Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka said on Monday that "a thorough architectural remodeling is necessary to permanently prevent the recognition and the symbolism of the building." | |
| Ministry spokesman Karl-Heinz Grundboeck said this means the house, in the western town of Braunau, will replaced with a new structure. | |
| Fears has been raised that the site could become a place of pilgrimage of Neo-Nazis and Mr Sobotka said the move will ensure any association with Hitler will be eliminated at the site. | |
