“I am no one’s disciple,
and all my knowledge
comes from my own
inspiration, by the grace
of Providence, and from
dialogues with the spirit.”

Street Life in Vienna
(Sept. 1909 – February 1910)
Obdachlosenheim – was a men’s
shelter for the desperate that
Hitler stayed in.
Reinhold Hanisch – was an ex-convict that
Hitler met while he was in
Obdachlosenheim. He taught Hitler how to
defend himself & how to survive the streets.
-
Things Hitler Learned While
Living in Obdachlosenheim:
Intimidation
Obdachlosenheim was filled with homeless men.
Many of them were criminals. Hitler was a small
man who could not defend himself well. One time
Hitler was badly beaten & his trenchcoat was
stolen. Hitler learned intimidation from being
intimidated himself!
Survival Skills
Hanisch taught Hitler how to fight and how to
survive on the streets. He also helped teach Hitler
intimidation (look tough and act tough – people
will fear you).
-
The Mannerheim – was a better men’s hostel which gave each man a
cubicle with a bed. There was a library and two lounges that men
could stay in during the day.
While Living in the Maennerheim
Hitler Learned:
Political Communication Skills
Hitler would talk politics with the “hard core men” that lived there.
Hitler also read newspapers about Karl Lueger {the Mayor of
Vienna} in the library of the Maennerheim.
Hitler also talked politics with men in coffee shops or cafés that
were nearby.

Street Life in Vienna
(Hitler was 20 years old)
• Brittgenau = the Vienna district which the
Maennerheim was located in. Industrial
suburb with 2nd highest Jewish population in
the city
• Leopoldstadt = Vienna district with the
highest Jewish population. Was a shortage
of housing and large vagrant population in
both districts.

The Political Environment of
Vienna, Austria
• Karl Lueger =
previously a
member of the
Austrian Reichsrat
• Mayor of Vienna
when Hitler was
there
• Political mentor for
Hitler
-
Karl Lueger taught Hitler:
• Attack the Jews!
• Effective use of propaganda. (Example = Lueger wrote articles in Christian Church magazines telling
people that the Jews wanted to get rid of Christianity!)
• Host big parades to attract large
numbers of people.
• End the parade at a stadium to have a
political rally.
• Use big gestures while speaking to
make sure the audience sees you.
• Vary your tone of voice (loud & soft).
-
Georg von Schönerer (political
mentor to Hitler)• German nationalist
politician
• Founder of Pan-German political party
• Taught Hitler to openly target the Jewish population with racial anti-Semitism
• His key mistake was trying to build political power through the Reichsrat
-
“The art of
leadership
consists of
consolidating the
attention of the
people against a
single adversary
and taking care
that nothing will
split up this
attention.”
