A chapel in Weißenhorn was damaged after unknown individuals set fire to a bouquet inside the building. The incident caused soot damage and is being investigated as suspected arson.
The incident occurred between 11 and 12 June 2025 at the Vierzehn-Nothelfer Chapel, a listed monument dating from the 20th century. According to police reports, unknown perpetrators likely used a candle to ignite a bouquet of flowers inside the chapel.
The resulting fire caused soot damage to the interior of the chapel. While the financial damage is estimated to be in the three-digit range, the act involved the deliberate ignition of objects within a place of worship.
Police have launched an investigation and are appealing for witnesses.
