The KALEB Family Centre fell victim to politically charged graffiti and paint attacks on Christmas Eve.
The christian family centre, which also focuses on pregnancy counselling, fell victim to a politically charged graffiti and paint attack on Christmas Eve. Unknown perpetrators vandalised the façade and windows with paint balloons and spray cans. The phrase "Legalise Abortion" was sprayed on the house. This caused around 4,000€ in damages. Paint remnants were recovered, and the slogans have been temporarily covered pending removal. The pregnancy counselling centre does not issue abortion counselling as they follow Christian values with their mission statement: "to protect and preserve unborn human life in accordance with God’s will." The managing director, Ernst von Heyking, said, "We are appalled. We would prefer to speak face to face with the people who hold a different opinion than we do."
A similar attack had occurred in 2023. Police has classified the attacks as extremism-motivated, the German state protection authorities are investigating.
