Fire engulfs 'Eagle's Nest' - Hitler's mountain retreat
German police said they had detained a suspect after fire broke out at a historic mountain guest house known as the "Eagle's Nest", used as a retreat by Nazi officials, including the dictator Adolf Hitler.
A fire broke out at the historic Eagle's Nest mountain guest house, a retreat used by Nazi officials including dictator Adolf Hitler. Police in Bavaria revealed that around 200 firefighters and emergency personnel were battling the flames. The building, known as Kehlsteinhaus, caught fire and is located near Berchtesgaden in southern Bavaria.
Investigations are underway to determine if the detained suspect near the scene was connected to the fire. Police have not disclosed any motive behind the incident. The Kehlsteinhaus, built in 1938, was originally a guest house for Nazi officials and their guests. Positioned in a stunning Alpine setting, the structure stands distinct from Hitler's nearby summer residence, the Berghof.
Currently owned by the Bavarian state, the Kehlsteinhaus was designated as a historical monument commemorating the Nazi era after World War II.
