Dozens of art objects have been damaged on Berlin's Museum Island.
The vandalism was kept silent.
What role does Attila Hildmann play?
Berlin - The
Berlin Museum Island
with its numerous exhibits has been a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1999.
Millions of people visit the museum every year.
Now dozens of works of art have apparently been willfully damaged.
Apparently the exhibits were devastated on October 3rd, the day of German unity.
On Tuesday evening,
Zeit
and
Deutschlandfunk made
this public.
The paper writes of one of “the most extensive attacks on works of art and antiquity in the history of post-war Germany”.
Museum in Berlin: Dozens of art objects damaged
But the attack should apparently be kept quiet.
Only now did the research make it public.
The Berlin police confirmed the destruction, as did the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.
This involves around 70 objects in the Pergamon Museum, the New Museum, the Old National Gallery and other locations.
They were splashed with an oily liquid

Attila Hildmann spread confused theory about museums
In retrospect, a statement makes one sit up and take notice: The
conspiracy theorist
Attila Hildmann, who was arrested last at an anti-corona rally, had spread a confused theory via his public Telegram channel in August and September: The Pergamon Museum is home to the
“Throne of Satan”
and it is the center of the "global satanist scene and corona criminals".
Hildmann also
wrote
: "Here they make their human sacrifices at night and desecrate children!"
It is not yet clear whether it is senseless vandalism or a deliberate act.
The historic day of destruction could also play a role.
Investigations are ongoing.
