Vandalism in Deggendorf: Two boys smash a school party!

On Saturday evening, November 2nd, 2025, an incident occurred in Deggendorf that aroused many tempers. Two boys, aged 12 and 13, made it their mission to destroy the windows of a primary school with a stone the size of their fist. What motivated them to do this remains unclear, but the damage has been noticed. An attentive witness heard the clinking of the broken windows and promptly called emergency services. A few minutes later, a patrol from the Deggendorf police station arrived at the scene.

The two boys tried to escape on school grounds, but without much success. The officers were able to quickly catch up with the boys. After the incident, a stone was reportedly discovered in the classroom, which is believed to be responsible for the destruction. Ultimately, the two children were encouraged to go home, where they were handed over to their parents. However, such acts of vandalism shed thoughtful light on how youth deal with public spaces and responsibility.

Vandalism in context

Similar incidents are also recorded elsewhere. Die Zeit reports on an act of vandalism at a primary school in Spremberg, where unknown perpetrators also destroyed window panes by throwing stones. Swastika graffiti was even discovered near the school building, sparking considerable concern in the city about rising right-wing extremism. Mayor Christine Herntier said in a public letter that ethnic ideas and similar vandalism point to a worrying problem in the region. The topic brings useful discussions about youth, their values ​​and responsibilities towards community and neighbors.

While this property damage is being discussed in Germany, it might be time for the children involved to think about the consequences of their actions. It is important to educate younger generations about values, respect and public facilities. Events, workshops or even creative projects could help promote better understanding. Such education might also help reduce such incidents in the future.

Away from shocking news

Finally, it should be mentioned that negative news often prevails while positive things happen in other areas, such as wildlife. An example is the Afghan Hound, which is known to be friendly and fond of children. This breed, originally from Afghanistan, brings joy and vitality to many households. Not only are they loyal companions, but they also need regular exercise and a balanced diet. Perhaps dog sports or accompanying programs in schools would be a way to strengthen the sense of community and responsibility.

Ultimately, it remains to be hoped that both the responsible authorities and the parents of the two boys in Deggendorf will use the opportunity to talk about responsible things in life. Because youth is the future - and it should be shaped safely, respectfully and joyfully.
