Two women from prison in Aichach, Swabia, have been sentenced again for a mashed potato fight and subsequent physical altercation.
The cellmates had fallen out in the women's correctional facility and then threw food at them - on that day last July there was mashed potatoes.
The press office of the court confirmed this to SPIEGEL.
According to the indictment, the argument began with a verbal battle.
As a result, food and a little later the women's plates flew through the room as projectiles.
The dispute continued to escalate violently.
Both women suffered injuries, a court spokesman confirmed.
The Augsburg district court sentenced the two 31 and 35-year-old defendants to fines on Wednesday for intentional bodily harm.
One defendant received a fine of 2,700 euros, which corresponds to 180 daily rates of 15 euros each.
The other prisoner has to pay a fine of 1,800 euros in 120 daily rates.
