Political slogans on Nuremberg's supermarket parking spaces - perpetrators wanted!

In Nuremberg, an unpleasant chapter in vandalism is currently being opened. On Wednesday evening, June 11, 2025, the parking spaces of several supermarkets became the target of unknown graphitti artists who cause excitement with political slogans. Persecuted by the police, a 69-year-old woman was arrested near a crime scene while several other people escaped. The police are now looking for witnesses who can provide information about the fleeting suspects. According to Infranken a color attack in the parking lot in Kieslingstrasse was reported.

The Nuremberg-Ost police inspection reacted promptly and was able to stop the suspicious vehicle in Eichendorffstrasse. In the 69-year-old car, the officials found several color cans that now serve as evidence. The ladies, who had only decided to flee, also left traces in the parking lots on Kilianstrasse and Rollnerstrasse - a real spread of the crime scenes, which are now being examined exactly by the specialist commissioner of the Nuremberg Criminal Police.

The consequences of vandalism

cities and municipalities are not only faced with optical flash, but also with enormous costs due to the damage. As reports police advice, the financial consequences of vandalism are serious and annually amount to millions that have to be borne by the general public. A fact that should encourage the population to think. In the event of serious property damage that is punished in accordance with Section 303 of the Criminal Code, there may be imprisonment or fines. The 'common damage to property' is usually punished even more strictly.

Another point of mindfulness is the initiative for the prevention of vandalism. It is made clear here that the intervention of civilians is not recommended because it could lead to dangerous situations. Instead, witnesses should pay close attention to the perpetrator characteristics and, if necessary, inform the police.

parents are called to talk to their children about the respectful handling of property. Kindergartens and schools should also support this upbringing in order to counter a further brutalization in public space. Additional information on the prevention of vandalism can be found under 180 security.
