Burglary in the church: sacristy broken up in Niederkassel!

In the parish of Sankt Matthäus in Niederkassel-Rheidt, a break-in was reported on Wednesday morning (January 29). An attentive member of the parishion discovered that the sacristy had been broken up and immediately informed the police. The door had considerable damage, but fortunately the treasure of the church remained untouched - all important utensils for the service were kept in a safe place.

The break -in apparently occurred between the last service on Sunday (January 26) and the discovery on Wednesday. The church is open to believers every day from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The police's investigation is initiated to clarify the background of this unpleasant incident.
