After Hitler came to power in 1933, many towns and cities in Germany made him an "honorary citizen". That means that he was welcome to stay in the town, because of his contributions.
Surprisingly, he is still a honorary citizen of many towns. However, the Guardian reports that some have only just recently decided to remove him from the list.
Just one more of the lingering effects of history.
