Summary
A fire gutted the Kehlsteinhaus, the Alpine retreat built for Adolf Hitler near Berchtesgaden, late Friday night. About 200 firefighters, police and rescue workers responded; the building was fully ablaze on arrival and no injuries were reported. A 33-year-old German man was arrested on suspicion of arson after allegedly fleeing on a motorcycle. Prosecutors said a preliminary evaluation found he suffers from mental illness, and police said the structure was probably not salvageable.
