Der Aufstieg des Postkartenmalers
Hitler's time in Vienna was like a black hole in his biography. Later, in Mein Kampf, he distorted and drastically shortened the months he spent there—nobody was to learn how far he had truly fallen. However, a former companion from those days posed a threat to his carefully constructed "Führer" image. Reinhold Hanisch, a petty criminal, told early Hitler biographers in the mid-1930s about a failed artist who had hit rock bottom alongside him in the men's homeless shelter on Meldemannstraße.
How much did Vienna shape the future dictator and mass murderer? Did he, as he later claimed, become a fervent antisemite under the influence of Mayor Karl Lueger? Andreas Pfeifer and Mariella Gittler explore the extent to which the Viennese environment may have shaped Hitler's worldview and, ultimately, world history.
Adding to the intrigue is a curious historical coincidence: in 1913, another future dictator, Josef Stalin, also spent several weeks in the imperial city, living just ten kilometers from Hitler. The two men may even have briefly crossed paths during one of Emperor Franz Joseph's outings to Schönbrunn Palace.
