当局称,希特勒的“鹰巢”周四晚间被纵火犯点燃,大火随即吞噬了这座臭名昭著的山顶避暑别墅。
Hitler’s “Eagle’s Nest” was set ablaze Thursday night after an arsonist torched the infamous mountaintop retreat, authorities said.
据《明镜》周刊报道,救援人员于晚上9点52分左右首次抵达现场,发现熊熊大火正在肆虐这座臭名昭著的旅游地标。
Responders first reached the site around 9:52 p.m. to find flames ravaging the notorious tourist landmark, according to Der Spiegel.
200多名应急人员火速赶往现场,并逮捕了一名身份不明的嫌疑人。
More than 200 emergency personnel rushed to the scene, where they arrested an unidentified person of interest.
南部巴伐利亚州警方随后证实,“鹰巢”发生火灾,该建筑在当地被称为Kehlsteinhaus。
Police in southern Bavaria later confirmed that a fire broke out at the Eagle’s Nest, which is referred to locally as Kehlsteinhaus.
这座建筑坐落于海拔1834米处,二战期间曾供纳粹高级官员使用,尽管希特勒本人仅到访过寥寥几次。
The perch — which sits at 1,834 meters above sea level — was used by high-ranking Nazi officials during World War II, though Hitler himself visited it only a handful of times.
“鹰巢”建于1938年,游客须乘坐岩壁内的黄铜电梯方可登顶。
Eagle’s Nest was constructed in 1938 and to reach the summit, visitors have to ride in a brass elevator inside the rock.
据Upday News Germany报道,因该建筑位于如此孤立的高处,仅能通过黄铜电梯或专用山路到达,后勤和供水极其困难。
Because the structure sits in such an isolated elevation only accessible by brass elevator or specialized mountain roads, logistics and water transport were extremely difficult, according to Upday News Germany.
与奥伯萨尔茨贝格——这一著名度假社区——的许多建筑不同,“鹰巢”在盟军轰炸中未受损毁。据OE24报道,这座历史建筑是否被完全毁坏目前尚不清楚。火灾原因仍在刑事调查中。
Unlike many of the buildings in Obersalzberg, a prominent resort community, the Eagle’s Nest sustained no damage during Allied bombing campaigns. It was not initially clear if the historic building was entirely destroyed, according to OE24. The fire remains under criminal probe.
