Desecration: Gave crosses turned upside down

Country: Germany

Date of incident: March 2, 2025


Unknown perpetrators dug up seven grave crosses at the Erzhütten cemetery in Germany over the weekend and put them back in the ground upside down. According to police, at least two crosses and one grave were damaged.

The incident took place between 1 and 2 March. Police are appealing for witnesses. 

As an inverted cross is used as an anti-Christian or satanic symbol, this incident is particularly shocking for the Christian community and the relatives of the deceased.
