  • Around 400,000 visitors visit the Kehlsteinhaus annually, mostly on nice days, at an altitude of 1834 meters. Since the house was opened to the public in the early 50s, visitors can visit most of the rooms that are related to the gastronomy.
    But there are also some rooms that are not open to the public, which we would like to show you in this documentation.
    First of all, there are the technical operating rooms, the core of which is a powerful diesel engine from 1940. This engine is still fully functional today and
    ensures a reliable power supply in the event of a power failure for both the house and the elevator.
    The large winch motor, which is housed in the roof of the house, transports the ever-increasing number of visitors to the Kehlsteinhaus, which is 124 meters higher.
    Finally, join us on a breathtaking ride on the roof of the elevator car high into the interior of the house.

    I was there in 1994 on a brisk, beautiful clear October day. Incredible views of the mountains. What I remember most is the bus ride up the mountain with the 6-level brakes system on the bus, the elevator ride to the top and then the breath taking views. The night before I went into a restricted area with my brother-in-law down into the bomb shelters built by the Nazis. The General Walker Inn was a beautiful place, sadly I've learned the Germans have torn it down.

      If you mean the "Das Teehaus am Mooslahnerkopft" in "Sperrgebiet I", Obersalzberg (only minutes walking distance from Herr Hitlers Berghof) , you are correct
      But to the narrators innocense there is a "Teezimmer .. Teeraum" at Kehlsteinhaus too. Sometimes confused with the "Teehaus am Mooslahnerkopf"
      And since the Teehaus am Mooslahnerkopf does not excist anymore (flattend by the US Army / Freistat Bayern in 1951 / 2006 in fear of worthship of den Herrn Adolf Hitler), people often confuse things ....

I clambered inside with some other German Jews who were already inside a bthe brass lift. I pressed the button to go to the bottom floor nearly 2km down and I reached the bottom in 1 second or less as I steal feal like I was left there to this day and as I climbed out I turned around and the people in the lift where gone I'll never forget it it was a surreal experience I wish everyone could experience.

    Very very interesting! Special thanks for filming / photographing the details and type plate of the old Siemens&Halske three-phase AC generator with its data. As told in the video, the original elevator winch from 1938 doesn't exist anymore, it was replaced in 1972. Are there any data of the winch motor known? The new machine filmed in the video seems to be a gearless DC machine ( I think the old original machine too). Data would be interesting (Power, DC voltage & amperage).

    Having been stationed in Germany with the USAF, Bavaria was always where we would head for. When family and friends would visit is always meant visits to Ludwig’s castles and the Eagles Nest. We made four visits to the Eagles Nest, and that was three too many. Pretty good video, but you should have included the bus ride up and back down,as well as the special buses that made the trips.

    When I was there in 2007 we were not allowed to see the generator motor. I don't recall seeing the swastika at the end of the access tunnel but I remember hearing that Hitler's driver had to back into the tunnel because Hitler was claustrophobic. I also remember seeing a sign in the elevator asking that customers don't use flash photography because the operator was sensitive to it. But customers did it anyway. Customers are wrong. If only the person who stole my camera afterward would have just kept his or her hands to themself...

    If that is the same elevator that services the tea house, Albert Speer wrote that Hitler was afraid of being trapped and only rode it once. As Hitler was a natural risk taker, I think he was mainly concerned with being embarrassed or even being caught in a coup. Speer and possibly Goebbels thought it was funny that the dispised Bormann's gift to Hitler wasn't appreciated.

    Could Hitler drive his car into the elevator?

      Not in to the actual elevator no, however Hitlers chauffeur did drive his car to the end of the tunnel, he then reversed out and reversed back in again, so when collecting Hitler he was always going forward.

    Where are the "Secrets"??
    All this is publicly available and has been for decades.
    The film you buy at the souvenir house for the busses up to the Eagles Nest has all this stuff.
    Secrets.... What Secrets? The Sub engine? It in the brochures... Come on...Quit the BS
