A parishioner of the Martinskirche in Kirchheim found the wings of one of the six plaster angels, which typically sit on the altar of the church, on the ground and broken. The wings had fallen to the floor after some vandal had tried to cut the statue from its base and in the process had dropped it. A complaint was filed but the police had little hope that the perpetrator could be found.
Pastor Jochen Maier said "It makes you sad that for some people even these places are no longer sacred. They cannot recognize that some areas have their own dignity that should not be used for personal enrichment."
