Ismaning - The figure sat on an archway on Schloßstraße in Ismaninger Schlosspark for just one day - then it was destroyed.
Now the police have determined the perpetrator.
The 25-year-old from the northern district, who got drunk on the night of the crime, confesses.
He had torn the light man out of sheer exuberance from the fortification, he had nothing against the artist, he explained to the officials.
In Ismaning, 38 so-called life-size light people have been installed in the municipality since April 1st.
"They walk, stand, sit, dance, climb, hug trees, do yoga, look at the sky ... they are just everywhere," the community writes on its website.
They appear especially in the palace gardens, in trees, on the facade and on the roof of the pavilion, but they can also be discovered at the S-Bahn station or at the indoor swimming pool.
Atelier mbeam from Munich developed the idea for the “Quickfidel Lichtmenschen” in order to spread a good mood and a little joie de vivre for four weeks and to motivate people to take a walk.
The art figure sitting cheekily on the archway apparently attracted the 25-year-old more than was conducive to it, he made short work of the glowing stick figure on the night of April 2nd. How the police tracked down the perpetrator three weeks later, the press office of the presidium did not reveal, but the man showed remorse and wants to pay the damage of around 1000 euros. The police reported him for property damage.
