Untitled[edit]
If anyone is interested in the period of time that the U.S. Military occupied the area you can read many comments in the following web site: http://www.afrcski.com/timeline/
This is about the U.S. military personnel that were stationed in Berchtesgaden, some of the employees and guests as well. If any of you have comments you wish to add about your time at any of the AFRC locations (Chiemsee, Berchtesgaden, Garmisch and The Columbia Hotel in Munich) please email Mark Sheldon [mark@mkswebdesign.com].
Name meaning[edit]
Apparently the name dates back to Old German Perehtgeresgadem, meaning something like "Peter's one roomed house", referring to the original settler here.

Kehlstein is Eagle[edit]
Is "eagle" really the correct translation for "kehlstein"? Or is the kehlsteinhaus just known as the eagle's nest? 58.106.94.182 (talk) 06:25, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Nazi acquisition of Obersalzburg[edit]
"The area of Obersalzberg was purchased by the Nazis in the 1920s for their senior leaders to enjoy."
I think this deserves more precision, as the phrase "purchased by the Nazis" is rather vague. Was it purchased by the Nazi Party as an organization, or by a group of them "clubbing" together? The article on Obersalzburg offers nothing to help clarify this, it appears that Hitler's presence there started with renting a place there.Cloptonson (talk) 05:47, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Birthday gift?[edit]
The article states that the Kehlsteinhaus was constructed as a birthday gift for Hitler which is contradicted in the main article on Kehlsteinhaus and also in the german version of the Kehlsteinhaus webpage, "Entgegen weit verbreiteter Annahmen war das Kehlsteinhaus aber kein Geschenk zu Hitlers 50. Geburtstag im Jahr 1939." https://www.kehlsteinhaus.de/geschichte/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vikstromd (talk • contribs) 17:29, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
