Kampfhäusl

[2] The Hitler trial resulted in a minimum sentence of five years in Landsberg Prison, where he dictated the first volume of Mein Kampf to his later deputy Rudolf Hess[3] (according to Joachim Fest, the first volume was only dictated by Hitler in Obersalzberg after his imprisonment, like the second).

In the summer of the same year, after his release from prison, he was a guest under the name "Hugo Wolf" in the Gebirgskurhaus Obersalzberg, which was then leased by Bruno Büchner and his wife.

In a small log cabin that stood a little above it on the forest property belonging to the guesthouse, as well as in the Deutsches Haus hotel,[5] he dictated the second part of his manuscript of Mein Kampf to Max Amann,[1] who was his Vizefeldwebel during the First World War.

And then he said: “Steffl, you should get one of the first ones.” And so he got the book, with his own dedication.When Mein Kampf was written, the furnishings in the hut only included a tiled stove, a table, a chair and a bed.

[3] In the summer of 1928, after the Büchners had purchased the guesthouse and renamed it Pension Platterhof, Hitler also wrote down “his thoughts on German foreign policy” in the log cabin.
