The famous Hitler residence “Eagle’s Nest” in the German Alps was almost completely destroyed by fire
📍The fire started in the evening of 23 October. When firefighters arrived on site, the building was already fully engulfed in flames. Extinguishing was complicated by the fact that the building is located at an altitude of over 1800 meters.
📍According to dpa, the Kehlsteinhaus was virtually destroyed by the fire.
📍Police detained a suspect near the scene of the fire. Arson is being investigated as a possible cause, but the detained person’s involvement has not yet been established. The motives for a possible crime are unknown.
📍The Kehlsteinhaus was built in 1938 as a meeting and recreation place for the Nazi leadership. Hitler also visited the building, although not often. His main residence, the Berghof, was located nearby.
📍After the war the Kehlsteinhaus was preserved as a historical landmark. Since 1952 a restaurant has operated there, and there was also an exhibition dedicated to the history of the Nazi period.
