Hundreds of people apparently met for an illegal celebration on a clinic site near Munich. In the process, they destroyed material for a corona emergency hospital.

Guests at an illegal Halloween party destroyed parts of a medical camp on a clinic site in Bavaria.

"The material had been stored for a Corona emergency hospital," said Björn Schraad from the Asklepios Clinic on Thursday.

According to the police, the celebration took place on Sunday night in a disused clinic area in Gauting near Munich.

The "Süddeutsche Zeitung" reports that the organizers advertised their festival on Instagram and sold tickets via an online platform.

According to "Münchner Merkur" there were 200 names on the guest list.

Beds and covers

During the celebration, the guests destroyed hospital inventory that the state government has been storing there since spring, according to "SZ".

How high the damage is is still unclear, said the clinic manager.

The destroyed and partly stolen material is mainly mattresses, beds and covers.

When the police visited the area after a phone call, most of the guests had apparently disappeared.

The officials said they found 15 people.

According to "SZ" they are accused of trespassing and violating the Infection Protection Act.
