Overview

• A 25-year-old man climbed the facade of Frankfurt's Trianon skyscraper without safety equipment, reaching the roof before being arrested by police.
• Emergency calls reported the climber around 18:00 on May 9, leading police to secure the area and apprehend him and three companions documenting the stunt.
• The climber's three companions, aged 33, 24, and 20, were also taken into custody and later released after police measures were completed.
• The public prosecutor ordered searches of rented premises, seized or deleted media recordings, and imposed a security deposit on the climber.
• The incident highlights the legal complexities of prosecuting 'roofing' under Germany's trespassing law, which requires a property owner's formal complaint to proceed.
