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.

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

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.
