The evangelical Schlosskirche in Winnenden was hit with graffiti between the 29th and 30th of October. The entire west side exterior of the 14th century church was sprayed with slogans like "Satan 666," "666 an die Macht" (666 to the power) and "stay high." The pastor said a special process would be required to remove the paint from the sandstone walls.
"When I saw the graffiti, I felt deeply disappointed. Imagine a bride and groom getting married in the church and reading these words," expressed a dismayed parishioner.
The church's pastor said, "I do not want to linger long on the symbolism of the slogans and I'm not superstitious either. We have filed a complaint with the police. We cannot do more than that now."
