Burning benches in the park Vandalism in Bonn’s tree nursery

Bonn · Unknown culprits set fire to one of the newly installed park benches in Bonn’s tree nursery last weekend. Residents also report they heard right-wing extremists shouting during the night.

The police were called out twice to the tree nursery park last weekend, the General-Anzeiger has now been informed by a reader. Shortly before midnight, residents reported people shouting „Sieg heil“. When the officers arrived they did not meet anybody. Four hours later, at around 4.30am, residents called the fire brigade and the police: One of the newly installed park benches was on fire. The police are investigating.

42 new trees, new paths, a wild flower meadow and a playground are all part of the re-design of the area, which will be finished at the start of June.

„Because the works are not finished, the liability still lies with the company who re-designs the park“, explained a spokesperson of the press office. The landscaping firm has already lodged a complaint against X. Other incidents of a similar kind are not known, according to the police, but residents complain about garbage and broken bottles being left behind.

Any information on both incidents? Please contact the police at 02 28/1 50.
