The fire broke out late Sunday and 120 firefighters were still fighting the flames Monday morning, but said the fire was mostly under control.
The cause of the fire, which started at a store inside the Onkel Toms Huette station in the city's southwest Zehlendorf neighborhood, was not immediately known.
