Overview

• Two Kamerunschafe on a pasture in Marmstorf were found after an overnight attack, with one dead and the other euthanized following a throat bite.
• Landowner Marc Janz suspects a wolf was responsible, noting his house is about 30 meters from the pasture and that he heard nothing that night.
• If confirmed by genetics, the incident would mark only the third verified wolf livestock kill on Hamburg territory after cases in Schnelsen in 2018 and Neuenfelde in April 2025.
• Recent indications of wolf presence in the city include a camera-trap image in Borghorst, a sighting in Duvenstedter Brook, and scat found in the Fischbeker Heide.
• Hamburg has documented intermittent wolf activity since 2013 and employs wolf wardens who advise animal owners and log suspected attacks and sightings.
