		</div><p>Austria&#8217;s highest court has ruled the government was within its rights to seize the house where Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 after its owner refused to sell it.</p>
<p>Authorities said the move was needed to give the state full control over plans to reduce the house&#8217;s attraction for neo-Nazis.</p>
<p>The Constitutional Court ruled that the government had &#8220;full authority&#8221; to expropriate the house in Braunau am Inn, near the German border.</p>
<p>The expropriation, it said, &#8220;was in the public interest, proportionate, and not without compensation and is thus not unconstitutional&#8221;.</p>
<p>The government wants to remodel the facade of the property to rid it of any visual association with Hitler&#8217;s birthplace and offer it to an agency that runs workshops for disabled people.</p>
<p>Work is expected to begin in the autumn.</p>
<p>Owner Gerlinde Pommer had challenged the expropriation, saying purchase offers were too low.</p>
<p>Her lawyer, Gerhard Lebitsch, said he assumed Ms Pommer would take the case to the European Court of Human Rights.</p>
