BERCHTESGADEN, GERMANY - AUGUST 06, 2019: The Main Reception Hall Of The Kehlsteinhaus Or Eagle`s Nest, Germany. Editorial Image

This room was the reception hall or living room of the Kehlsteinhaus. It was originally furnished with a huge round table in front of the fireplace, surrounded by a circle of comfortable overstuffed chairs which alternated with smaller chairs having wooden arms. There were other smaller groupings of tables and chairs in front of the windows. Hitler painted a watercolor of this room which shows how it originally looked, or perhaps how he wanted it to look. The restaurant serves typical Bavarian food such as sauerkraut, liver dumplings, Wienersnitzel and sauerbraten. The stairs lead up to the hallway where the elevator is located. The interior walls are covered with a granite facade. This style of massive, solid, heavy-handed architecture was favored by the Nazi leaders. The Kehlsteinhaus is literally a Nazi stronghold.
