The mayor is horrified, the police are investigating: unknown people have cut down a tree in Bavaria, but it's not just anyone.
It was the tree on the “Franz-Eberhofer-Kreisel”.
Frontenhausen – It is “probably the best-known roundabout in Germany”.
The East Bavaria Tourism Association calls the “Franz-Eberhofer roundabout” in Frontenhausen this.
The roundabout became known from Rita Falk's famous successful crime series.
Whether “Dampfnudel Blues”, “Kaiserschmarrn-Drama” or “Leberkäs Junkie” – the films always thrilled not only audiences in Bavaria, but also those beyond the borders of the Free State.
Now the shock: Unknown people felled the tree that was on the roundabout on the night of March 1st to 2nd - with a chainsaw.

According to the police, the material damage amounts to around 8,000 euros, the ideal value is probably much higher.
The incident shocked Frontenhausen's first mayor, Franz Gassner.
He speaks of “a process without equal,” according to the
Passauer Neue Presse
.
He was “horrified” and “didn’t understand the point”.
And further: “I would be interested to know what the motivation of the perpetrator or perpetrators is.” He also announced that he would of course want to replace the tree.
The police started the investigation.
