Shop window scandal in Birkenfeld: Who damaged the window?
An incident that occurred on Friday, October 24, 2025 is causing a stir in Birkenfeld. A grocery store on Friedrich-August-Strasse has fallen victim to vandalism or possibly unfortunate circumstances. The shop's window pane had several cracks, which were caused by deep damage about 70 centimeters high. This was discovered by an alert store employee who checked around 10am on Friday morning and noticed the damage. The Trier Police Department has now reported the incident and the reasons for the damage are still unclear.
The police do not rule out intentional damage to the window. Weather-related influences or contact with a passing vehicle could also have caused the damage. In any case, Edith's circumstances and the origin of the major crack are mysterious. The exact nature of the damage also appears to be a mystery, as it began as a smaller but deeper injury that spread across the entire surface of the disc. The police are asking the public for help and asking anyone with information to contact the police in Birkenfeld. Information about this can be found on the website of Antenne KH and News.de.
