On July 29, unknown perpetrators broke into the parish church in Fulda and stole the monstrance. They also stole some money.
"The monstrance is worth 400 euros. It's more the religious value that's higher," says parish priest Stefan Buß, who is annoyed because he doesn't actually want to close the church. "It should remain open for people who want to come to us," says the priest to the news agency dpa. The armoured glass should be replaced, says Buß. "We're thinking about an alarm system."
The police are investigating the case.
