The mothers couldn't believe their eyes when they and their children visited the Fraunberg forest playground on Wednesday.
It was completely devastated.
Strangers left no bench and no play equipment intact.
The police estimate the property damage at a good 1000 euros and ask for relevant information.
Fraunberg - “The whole thing must have happened between Monday evening and Wednesday morning.
Everything was fine on Monday afternoon, ”says Elisabeth Ertl from the project group that initiated the playground and implemented it together with the community.
For a good three years now, the forest playground next to the old land consolidation area above Fraunberg has been a popular meeting place for families.
It is also used regularly by the Fraunhofer kindergarten groups.

Now the playground equipment can hardly be seen.
The toddler slide and toddler swing have been smashed, behind it is a bobby car whose steering wheel and wheels have been torn out.
The outdoor kitchen was also completely destroyed and the sink was thrown meters wide through the forest.
The great stove with stove that wood sculptor Hannah carved on the Hövel with a chainsaw together with the children during the holiday program is also broken in the clearing.
Boards have been torn out of the large wooden table where the children used to gather for games.
The same thing happened to the heads of the two wooden horses.
Only individual parts are reminiscent of the white wooden horse.
There is also damage to two slacklines, the third slackline has completely disappeared.
"You can't think of anything when you see that," said administrative manager Friedhelm Eugel, visibly annoyed, when he got an idea of the destruction.
Once before, last year, strangers stole the slacklines.
At that time, the community had waived an advertisement because the thieves had reported remorseful after a call in the community newspaper.
“This is no longer fun”, clarifies Eugel, “that's why we called the police here”.
The officials of the Erding inspection took everything relevant to the record on Wednesday afternoon and took photos.
Who does that?
Everyone is asking this question.
One father suspects that young people may have let off steam here.
Ertl, on the other hand, says: "It has to be someone who hates because we use the playground here regularly."
Administrative director Eugel arranged for the playground to be closed immediately. Anyone who knows something about the incident or has noticed something should definitely contact the municipality. "The information will be treated confidentially," promises Eugel. The Erding police can be reached on tel. (0 81 22) 96 80. tom
