The Austrian government says it plans to seize the house where Adolf Hitler was born to stop it being a focal point for Nazi sympathisers.<\/p>\n

Officials say the decision was taken after several years of discussion about how to prevent neo-Nazi interest.<\/p>\n

Hitler was born in the house in the town of Braunau am Inn in April, 1889.<\/p>\n

The property has been leased from its owner by the government since 1972, and it was used for many years as a centre for people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

But it fell empty in 2011 following a dispute between the government and the owner, Gerlinde Pommer, who refused to grant permission for renovation.<\/p>\n

The new plan would include an offer of compensation from the state to her, interior ministry spokesman Karl-Heinz Grundboeck told AFP news agency.<\/p>\n

“We are currently examining the creation of a law, which would force a change of ownership and pass the property to the Republic of Austria.<\/p>\n

“We have come to the conclusion over the past few years that expropriation is the only way to avoid the building being used for the purposes of Nazi [sympathisers].”<\/p>\n

He did not say what the government might then do with the property.<\/p>\n

Locals say the property still attracts some neo-Nazi sympathisers, despite the house being unmarked.<\/p>\n

The only link to its past is a stone outside inscribed with the words: “Never again Fascism. In memory of millions of dead.” Hitler’s name does not appear.<\/p>\n

Various proposals have been put forward about how to use the house, including turning it into flats, a centre for adult education, a museum or a centre designed to confront the Nazi past.<\/p>\n

There have also been calls for its demolition, with one Russian MP offering to buy the house and blow it up.<\/p>\n

Adolf Hitler lived on Salzburger Vorstadt for only a few weeks, before his family moved to another address in Braunau. They left the town for good when Hitler was three years old.<\/p>\n

Hitler went on to rule Nazi Germany from 1933 until his death at the end of World War Two in 1945.<\/p>\n

The Nazi regime, which triggered the war with the invasion of Poland in 1939, killed millions of people, mainly Jews, in the Holocaust.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
