A fire broke out Friday evening at the Kehlsteinhaus above Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, the mountain guesthouse known as the Eagle's Nest, German police said, and a suspect was detained4,5,6.

Police said a fire alarm sounded about 9:15 p.m. local time Friday, that approaching crews could see flames, and that about 200 firefighters and emergency personnel responded4. The Local, citing police, put the alarm near 9:50 p.m.5.

The building sits at about 1,834 meters, and police said engines had difficulty reaching it; entry required respiratory protection4,5. Police said they were not aware of injuries4,5.

Police said a suspicious person was taken into temporary custody and that the incident was under criminal investigation, without stating a cause or motive4,5,6. The Local said German media reported suspected arson; police had not confirmed that in the statements cited5.

The 1938 guesthouse, separate from Hitler's nearby Berghof, survived World War II bombing and is a Bavarian-owned historic monument that has housed a restaurant and exhibition4,6. Police planned a news conference Saturday5.
