Adolf Hitlers Childhood Home in Austria Nazi German Third Reich Propaganda Postcard

Original Third Reich Leonding Austria Adolf Hitler Jugendaufenthalt Postcard

Original period German/Austrian postcard depicting Leonding near Linz an der Donau, Austria, a location closely associated with Adolf Hitler’s youth and family history.

The front features an attractive color artwork showing the village of Leonding with its church, surrounding houses, fields, and countryside. Printed at the lower right is:

“Letzter Jugendaufenthalt Adolf Hitlers in Oberdonau”

Translation:

“Adolf Hitler’s last place of residence during his youth in Upper Danube.”

The artwork appears signed “Kayserger-Wels” at the lower edge.

The reverse is unused and bears additional historical text:

“Die Heimat des Führers und Reichskanzlers Adolf Hitler. 8 Bildkarten von R. Raabberger. Verlag Eugen Friedhuber, Wels, Oberdonau.”

Translation:

“The homeland of Führer and Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler. 8 picture postcards by R. Raabberger. Published by Eugen Friedhuber, Wels, Upper Danube.”

This indicates the card was issued as part of an 8-card series devoted to locations associated with Hitler’s early life.

Leonding has particular historical significance because Hitler’s family lived there after leaving Lambach, and his parents Alois and Klara Hitler were buried in Leonding. The village therefore became one of several Austrian locations associated with Hitler’s childhood and youth that were featured on period souvenir and propaganda postcards during the Third Reich era.

The postcard is unused and unmailed, retaining a clean divided back. It shows normal age-related wear, including some discoloration/spotting and edge/corner wear. There is noticeable damage/creasing along the upper edge of the front. Please examine all photographs carefully for exact condition.

A desirable original period postcard for collectors of Third Reich postal history, Austrian history, Leonding and Linz memorabilia, historical propaganda postcards, and WWII-era German ephemera.
