A Dutch Communist was arrested at the scene. However, there has been speculation that he was framed and the Nazis were involved. Certainly, Hitler persuaded President Hindenburg to pass the Reichstag Fire Decree, declaring a state of emergency. The Nazis also won the largest number of seats in the following election.
The Reichstag was the Parliment building for Germany. Historians can not guarantee that it was Hitler who made the man set it alight, but that is who the finger is pointed at. It was set alight because Hitler did not want any opposition. The Reichstag went up in flames, a man was found with firelighting equipment, Hitler then came with people, he then blames the communist party, the communist party then gets banned, so that means Hitler has no opposition. It all makes sence.
The Nazi party became the largest political party in Germany following the 6th Reichstag elections on July 31, 1932. As a result of the election the Nazi party received 37.3% of the popular vote (an increase of 19%) and 230 seats in the Reichstag (an increase of 123)

Although the Social Democratic Party could not influence laws, because of the structure of the legislature, the party gained public support by using political office to spread its views. By 1877, the SDP had elected 12 members to the Reichstag. The party was able to use the Reichstag as a forum for its grievances.

The Reichstag fire is associated with Adolf Hitler because he used the fire to suggest that the Communists were plotting against the German government. It is widely believed that the arson was actually planned and carried out by agents of the Nazi party.
Hitler gave a public address blaming the communists for the fire, and that they should all be rounded up and imprisoned. A Dutch communist, Marianus van der Lubbe, was found with matches in the Reichstag ruins and was arrested.
The Reichstag building in Berlin was set on fire in 1933, and it was used by the Nazi Party to justify the repression of their political opponents. The event, known as the Reichstag fire, played a significant role in helping the Nazis consolidate power and establish a totalitarian regime in Germany.
Because marinus vander lubbe who was found guilty of startingths fire was a communist, hitler had an excuse to ban communists. He said that they were a threat and were trying to take over using violent revolution as the fire shows. Banning them means he has a majority in government and can make all the decisions he wants because communists were his main opponent. Some thought the fire was so convenient to the nazis that marinus may have been framed. He was gullible and maybe told to be in the reichstag with fire lighters.

Dimitroff was accused (with others) of setting fire to the Reichstag building, was tried and acquitted.
The Reichstag fire took place during an election campaign. The Nazis blamed the Communists for the fire and immediately banned them from taking part in the election. Hitler used the Reichstag fire to create a panic that made it easy for him to extend rule by decree. The elections took place a week later (5 March 1933) and Hitler soon got legislation passed allowing him unlimited rule by decree.
