Knife blades were maliciously attached to a playground in Aschheim.

In the meantime, false reports about other finds have also been circulating.

The whole district is in a state of excitement.

Dornach - why?

Why does the perpetrator want to hurt children?

The people in Aschheim have been racking their brains over this question since Friday.

Last week, community workers found knife blades - maliciously attached to a small playground in the Dornach district (we reported).

Children are probably not injured, but Dornach is excited.

This also shows the excitement about another knife discovery that wasn't one at all.

Dornach: a whole district in fear.

Aschheim: knife blades placed on playground - police are still looking for perpetrators

The whole excitement began when on Friday morning employees of the municipal building yard found cutter knives during a routine check at the “Försterweg” playground.

Some of the knives were hidden away on a ladder with the clear intention of harming children.

The community workers immediately called the police.

She is now looking for the unknown perpetrator - because of attempted dangerous bodily harm.

Jürgen Thoma is stunned after the incident.

He has lived in Dornach for ten years, his house is less than ten meters from the playground.

His office is on the first floor and he made no suspicious observations.

“What a disturbed person.

Why do you do that? ”He wonders.

It is never loud at the playground, only a few children play there, and all of the neighbors have children.

Who cares about the children playing?

“The playground doesn't bother us at all,” says neighbor Yvonne Hunger.

She has lived in Dornach for twelve years, an incident like this has never happened before.

“It's terrifying,” says Hunger.

After knife blades were found in Aschheim: the father of the family no longer lets children on the playground

Neighbor Jürgen Thoma now draws conclusions from the knife found, he has three children.

“You don't go over there,” says the family man.

He also warned acquaintances about the playground in front of his house.

“I have no words,” says Thoma.

The community and police have probably noticed the fear of the citizens.

Police officers and community workers check the playground every two to three hours, reports resident Thoma.

Because the Protestant daycare center in Aschheim is also in a state of excitement.

"The incident is very frightening," says Deputy Head Ulrike Lamerz to Münchner Merkur.

So far, the children have been allowed to play on the large playground near the kindergarten.

This is over for the time being: “In the near future we will stay in kindergarten for the time being,” says Lamerz.

Police also searched the daycare center's playground last week, but found no knives.

The fear of the child hater - it goes through Dornach.

Aschheim: False reports that another knife was found spreads

The fear of residents and parents, it also explains the false reports that spread in Dornach on Monday afternoon.

Several citizens reported another knife found in a playground on Johann-Wieser-Ring in Aschheim.

The local residents have also said that police officers have already been there.

Call the police headquarters in Munich.

That's right, says a spokesman, officials were in the playground.

The police were informed that a knife had been found in the sandpit.

"However, it was a dull children's knife to play with," says the police spokesman.

A child must have lost it a long time ago while playing in the sandpit.
