German police in Bavaria have arrested a suspect after a fire broke out at Adolf Hitler's mountain retreat, the Kehlsteinhaus, also known as the Eagle's Nest.

Traunstein dispatchers received a fire alarm from the complex at 21:15 local time on Friday. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Around 200 emergency personnel were sent to fight the flames, BBC News reported. Difficult terrain made it hard for firefighters to extinguish the blaze, and the structure remained on fire early on Saturday. Officials stated that there were no immediate reports of injuries. [1]
The Kehlsteinhaus is located on a rocky promontory above Obersalzberg near Berchtesgaden in southeastern Germany. Completed in 1938, the Nazi Party commissioned the building for official and social events, and Adolf Hitler visited the location on at least 14 documented occasions. BBC News added that Hitler used the retreat as a part-time seat of government. [1][8]
