In the case of a suspected poison attack at the Technical University of Darmstadt, the public prosecutor's office is investigating attempted murder.
The police set up the 40-strong homicide squad named »Light«, as they announced.
"The investigations are currently in full swing and the police are doing everything they can to promptly identify who or those responsible."
According to the police, several people with symptoms of intoxication such as malaise and discoloration were brought to clinics on Monday.
According to a police spokesman, those affected had previously eaten or drunk something in building L201 on campus.
The police assume that several milk cartons and water containers in the building were put with the substance between Friday and Monday.
A laboratory analysis should show which substance is involved.
Other foods and drinks that were on the Lichtwiese campus are also examined.
