Damn. The Eagles Nest is burning down. Police suspect arson. Such a shame this historical place is destroyed. I'm so glad I have had the opportunity to visit it on many occasions.

Feuer über Berchtesgaden: Hitlers Teehaus steht in Flammen

Der Feuerschein ist noch aus mehreren Kilometern Entfernung zu sehen. Hoch über Berchtesgaden brennt das Kehlsteinhaus, einst Hitlers Teestube.

There is a lot left in Germany from then.

The Eagles Nest has been open for tourism since the 1950s. I've been several times since the 1980. Just took my kids there last year.

And a suspect has been arrested.

So parts were moved elsewhere? I seemed to recall that the main building had been demolished close to VE Day and that only a lesser building stood by the end of WW2. If parts had moved elsewhere then I guess it was rebuilt?

Wiki: The Berghof was damaged by a British air raid shortly before the end of the war and subsequently set on fire by the remaining members of the local SS. In 1952, the Free State of Bavaria had the ruins demolished.

Another blow against fascism!
Easy to fight an enemy that's already defeated.
