The Oberallgäu is poorer by one attraction.
A revealing wooden sculpture was stolen from the top of a mountain in a "night-and-fog operation".
Strangers stole a two-meter-high wooden figure from the summit of the Grünten.
Only the stump and wood chips are left of the work of art.
The police have now started an investigation.
Rettenberg
- The "cultural monument" on the top of the
Grünten in Oberallgäu
(Rettenberg district) has been stolen.
Or maybe not.
The
police are
investigating what happened to the two-meter-tall
wooden figure
in the form of a male genitals.
But one is not sure whether a
crime has
actually
been committed.
Wooden sculpture disappeared in the Allgäu: simply sawed off overnight
"Someone must have sawed it in a night-and-fog operation," said the tenant of the nearby
Grüntenhütte of
the
Allgäuer Zeitung
on Monday.
Of the
wooden phallic symbol
only the stump and a few sawdust were left.
Now the
police
in Kempten have
initiated
pro forma
investigations
.
At the authority, one is still puzzling how the stranger or the unknown managed to transport the massive
sculpture down
the 1738 meter high mountain in the middle of the night.
Another riddle for the officials and numerous visitors to the
Grünten
,
is who originally placed the figure there.
The owner is unknown.
Ergo there is also no injured party.
Police spokesman Holger Stabik puzzles
maybe the owner
picked up
the
wooden sculpture
himself.
Nevertheless, Stabik emphasized: Every hint will be followed up - but so far none have been received.
Wooden sculpture disappeared in the Allgäu: Mayor sad about the loss
Not only the hikers are
sad
about the disappearance of the
figure
.
Also Save Mount Mayor Nicholas Weißinger is the loss of interest is a pity he said
br24.de
.
Many people enjoyed the
sculpture
and laughter is particularly important in these difficult times.
There have never been any complaints about the revealing statue and therefore Weißinger hopes that the
wooden figure
that
Google Maps
calls
a
“cultural monument”
will soon be replaced.
The work of art was only recently in the media.
The two-meter monster was overturned.
The landlord from the
Grüntenhütte
suspected at the time that cows that rubbed against it had knocked over it.
