After controversy, the building, which is located in Braunau am Inn, a city on the border between Austria and Germany, will be used by Austrian police. The building, where Hitler's family lived for a brief period, has been the center of a controversy over its use.

Some would like to tear down the building so that it does not remain a point of reference for neo-Nazis, while others think that in this way they risk denying the country's past. The works for the conversion of the building should begin in autumn and end in 2025.
