In Germany broke out again " Teahouse" Hitler

On the night of October 25, a new fire broke out in the historic Kellsteinhaus building, also called the Eagle's Nest and which once served as Adolf Hitler's teahouse. According to DPA, citing local police, the incident occurred after a major fire that occurred on October 23, and the damage is estimated at millions of euros.

According to the representative of law enforcement agencies, the flames during the new fire rose to the ceiling, but the fire crews who arrived at the scene quickly coped with the fire. The extinguishing operation has now been fully completed.

The first fire in Kellsteinhaus broke out on the evening of October 23. Its extinguishing was complicated by the fact that the building is located on the top of a mountain almost two thousand meters high and is difficult to access. Police are investigating suspected arson. According to preliminary estimates of the association Zweckverband Bergerlebnis Berchtesgaden, material damage is estimated at millions of euros.

As part of the investigation, a 33-year-old resident of Berlin was detained on suspicion of intentional arson, who was riding a motorcycle in a closed zone near a burning building. The prosecutor's office of Traunstein reported that the initial examination revealed signs of mental illness in the detainee. The court decided to temporarily place the man in a closed specialized medical institution. Possible political implications are also being tested.

The building was built in the Alps in 1937-1938 at an altitude of 1834 meters above sea level. The complex was used, in particular, for official receptions of foreign delegations and diplomats to demonstrate the power of the Nazi regime. During air raids by Allied aviation at the end of World War II, this object, unlike other buildings in the area, was practically not damaged and retained its historical appearance. In 1951, the complex was transferred to the government of Bavaria.
