Hitler's Favourite Hang-Out - Mooslahnerkopf Teahouse

Everyone thinks that the Eagle's Nest was Hitler's mountain tea house, but in fact he disliked the building and rarely visited. His actual tea house and favourite building was atop a much smaller mountain near his famous house, the Berghof. Here I present a then-and-now look at the Mooslahnerkopf Teahouse, Hitler's favourite hang-out.

Special thanks to BEGAFILM for permission to use their footage of the Mooslahnerkopf Teehaus ruins prior to 2001. I urge all my fans to visit their channel for amazing historical footage of the Berchtesgaden Nazi buildings and bunkers, and much more...

Dr. Felton is my favorite Historian, his wide knowledge of history is simply incredible, and his work on YouTube is truly some of the best in the world.

The air raid siren gave me goosebumps. Thanks for including that dramatic piece!

[evanhughes]

The inclusion of birdsong and ambient audio filmed at the sites was a nice touch. Thank you for your work, sir.

Dr. Felton has truly the finest history channel. Well documented and researched. Thank you sir.

I understand why the government wanted to destroy all the buildings, but, still, it’s a bit sad that so much history has been erased. Thanks for the video Dr. Felton. 👍

Having served in Bavaria and West Berlin, I always thought it was weak to have to tear everything down. I got my chunk of Spandau Prison but didn't want to see it destroyed in the eighties. We were supposed to stop people from getting those chunks, by the way. Maybe I should delete this confession.

The biggest crime was when the Germans tore down Sheridan Kaserne in Augsburg 18 years ago. Those were the sturdiest of Bavarian buildings, but also an SS base before the US Army took over for the next 52 years. Google Sheridan Kaserne. Mark could do a fascinating video on it.

The “arch-toady Martin Bormann”.
Perfekt!

I was stationed in Berchtesgaden in 1984. Little had been touched. Plenty of rubble and pieces of buildings, ruins that have been fixed today. I am glad I was there 40 years ago now. Best army duty station ever!

I like how you include relevant pictures of yourself someimes. It's cool how you visit these historic places today.

After all the B.S. going on this week in the U.S, I'm very glad to see a new Mark Felton Video . . .
Cheers !!!

Thank you again Dr Felton for educating us on history that will never make it to a modern school system.

[pesnevim]

Thank you Dr Felton, you are a true historian rather than a political activist.

Just got home from the pub lightly sloshed, a new Mark Felton video was uploaded while I was catching up with my cousins here in Moravia. As someone with both a historical and existential interest in European warfare this makes for a great Friday.

Mooslahnerkopf Teahouse looks like a Teutonic design castle tower. Much like some towers of Kaunas Castle in the Baltics.

[StevenKeery]

Nice scenic view from that bench.
A pity about the tea-house, I think it looked rather nice.
Hopefully, I will be able to visit the area one day. Thanks for uploading.

"Arch Now that is a descriptor that leaves one in no doubt of Bormann's character.

"...which added a certain amount of atmosphere to my explorations." - nicely understated.

[jonthinks]

I have subscribed to Bega films, since last plug from Mark. They know the Burchgarden area, and hours of films and stories.

[albertriviello]

Always a great day when Dr. Felton uploads a new video!!!
