Police in Munich are currently investigating a peculiar incident that has left residents and authorities puzzled. More than 1,000 stickers have been discovered on gravestones and wooden crosses at three cemeteries in the German city, sparking a mystery as to their origin and purpose.
The stickers, measuring 5x3.5 centimeters (1.95x1.2 inches), feature a QR code that, when scanned, reveals the name of the deceased individual buried in the grave and the location within the cemetery. However, beyond this information, the stickers provide no further details.
According to police spokesperson Christian Drexler, the stickers have been found on both long-standing gravestones and newly erected wooden crosses, indicating a lack of discernible pattern in their placement. Authorities are urging anyone who may have witnessed individuals affixing the stickers to graves to come forward and contact the respective cemetery administrations.
The stickers first appeared in recent days at the Waldfriedhof, Sendlinger Friedhof, and Friedhof Solln cemeteries, prompting concerns among cemetery staff and visitors alike. In addition to the mystery surrounding their purpose, police are also investigating potential property damage caused by the stickers, as some gravestones were reportedly partially damaged and discolored upon their removal.
The investigation into this unusual occurrence is ongoing, with authorities working to identify the individuals responsible for placing the stickers and determine the motives behind their actions. As the community grapples with this enigmatic situation, residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity observed in the cemeteries.
