Amtzell Cemetery Vandalised

Country: Germany

Date of incident: February 14, 2026


Unknown individuals ignited a campfire using wooden grave crosses inside the open prayer hall at the Amtzell Cemetery, later leaving an "apology" written in ash on the wall.

The individuals entered the open prayer hall, took at least one wooden grave cross—and possibly up to three—and used them as fuel for a fire on the stone floor.

In a strange gesture, the perpetrators reportedly wrote "We are sorry" on the wall using the ashes of the burnt cross.
