Bavaria: fire in hotel ruins: police assume arson

Bischofmais (dpa / lby) - Almost two weeks after the major fire in a former hotel complex in the Regen district, the police assume that the fire was set by negligence or intentionally. How exactly the fire in Habischried near Bischofmais was triggered is still unclear, as the police announced on Thursday. "The investigations are really proving to be very difficult," said a spokesman. "We proceed above all according to the exclusion principle."

The fire on July 23 caused damage of at least three and a half million euros to the hotel ruins - a so-called "Lost Place".
