Overview

• Eight masked men, aged 19 to 30, from Landkreis Augsburg placed a two-meter wooden phallus outside Antenne Bayern's Ismaning office as part of a planned art stunt.
• The group intended for the sculpture to be discovered and auctioned for charity by the radio station, but their actions triggered a significant police response.
• A security guard’s call to authorities led to multiple patrol cars arriving, as battery-powered screwdrivers were initially mistaken for weapons.
• All participants were released after police checks, with only the 29-year-old driver facing charges for obscuring the vehicle’s license plate.
• Antenne Bayern has announced plans to auction the sculpture through its charity foundation, while questions remain about its possible connection to a recently vanished statue in Schwabmünchen.
