In November 1898, Adolf Hitler's father Alois bought this house in Leonding, a district of Linz, Austria at 16 Michaelsbergstrasse for 7,700 Kronen. Adolf then spent the next seven years here. His parents are buried in the cemetery which is on the other side of the road and whereas the grave site is now empty as a relative of the first wife of Alois Hitler refused to pay the rent in 2012, the plot is empty and we can see where it was. At the entrance to the graveyard from the other side there is a war memorial and we can see the names of the local victims of Leondings most notorious son.
(7,700 kronen is approximately USD1700, GBP330, 6,550RM according to a Bedecker guide of 1905. This would be, once more very approximately around 1,000 days wages for a skilled tradesperson, or the cost of around 12 horses or 34 cows.)
