Because he is said to have hit his 63-year-old victim in the head with a car door, a Peitinger (59) had to answer before the Weilheim district court.
The cause of the dispute was a parked mobile home.
Peiting – His client would “deny” the facts and “present them differently,” said the defense attorney in an initial statement at the beginning of the trial.
The 59-year-old said he basically didn't know the injured party.
In the past, however, he had often parked his mobile home near his partner's property.
At first the two of them didn't mind.
But as soon as they rolled backwards out of the driveway, the large vehicle constantly blocked their view, the Peitinger complained.
His girlfriend had even contacted the police about the legality of the parking situation.
In June she finally confronted the man about “whether this was his permanent parking space”.
The 63-year-old victim then “attacked” her quite a bit, which is why she retreated to her house and informed him about the incident, the Peitinger said.
Meanwhile, the mobile home owner left in his car.
When the defendant then went out, the 63-year-old had already returned.
He immediately took the opportunity to express his opinion to the motorhome owner.
“He shouldn’t approach my girlfriend like that,” he claims to have said.
“He slammed the door on himself.”
The injured party then immediately “shot” out of the car, shouted “I’m reporting you” several times and held a piece of paper under his nose.
“But I didn’t want that,” said the accused.
Since he felt harassed by his counterpart waving a piece of paper, he pushed the 63-year-old away.
Shortly afterwards he turned away to return to his car.
The defendant followed him - in order to once again take the side of his partner.
“You’ve already told him that often enough before,” said judge Lars Baumann, somewhat skeptically.
Even though the accused stated that he had held the open door in his hand, he claimed that he was not responsible for the subsequent violent act.
“He hit the door on himself,” he said.

The 63-year-old then drove away, although he is said to have stopped several times and held his head.
The accused stated that he had unsuccessfully asked the owner of the mobile home several times whether everything was OK.
The injured party reported that the note in question was just one of many.
On these he explained neatly and with paragraphs why his parking was legal.
To clarify things, he wanted to put the notes in the mailbox and attach them to a vehicle.
He described the violent conflict as a “completely sneaky attack” in which he was “helpless.”
He was still halfway out when the door hit him “with full force”.
In that position, it was impossible for him to slam the door himself, according to the victim.

Bleeding wounds and swollen temples were the result.
He then even had to spend two days in the hospital.
The witness said he was also unable to eat properly for 14 days due to jaw pain.
Although he did not see the defendant's hands at the time, he was still certain about the question of guilt.
The public prosecutor demanded a fine in the upper four-digit range for Peitinger.
The defense attorney, in turn, considered it unrealistic that his client should have used a brief moment in such a “dynamic process” to carry out his crime and demanded an acquittal.
The notes would also show that the 63-year-old had visibly gone into the conflict prepared.
He came to the conclusion that there must be “very serious doubts” about the injured party’s statement.
A sneaky attack with “brute force” would certainly have resulted in fractures, he said, and brought up a possible hearing for the defendant's partner.
Ultimately, Judge Baumann was spared a difficult decision: surprisingly, the two conflicting parties were able to reach a consensus and agree to discontinue the proceedings.
However, there is a deposit of 3,500 euros.
