Unknown people set fire to a homeless camp in an underpass at Ostbahnhof.
As the police announced on Monday, no one was injured.
The five, in part already sleeping, 24 to 52-year-old residents of the camp with tents in Koppenstrasse in Berlin-Friedrichshain managed to get to safety in time during the fire on Sunday evening.
Berlin - According to the fire brigade, an area of around 20 square meters was on fire.
Part of the camp burned down completely.
The background to the fact is still unclear.
There is no reliable evidence of a politically motivated act, it said.
The police are investigating attempted manslaughter and arson.
