Police Find No Evidence of Arson in Thurn und Taxis Hunting Lodge Fire

Investigators focus on possible negligence or a technical defect based on current forensic analyses.

Overview

  • Upper Palatinate police say current findings show no indications of a deliberate attack on the Jagdschloss Thiergarten.
  • Investigators report no recognizable connection between an alleged Indymedia claim of responsibility and the blaze.
  • Specialists from the Kriminalpolizei Regensburg and the Bavarian State Criminal Police are analyzing samples and following up witness statements.
  • The former hunting lodge, used as a golf club clubhouse near Altenthann, burned down in early October with insured losses in the low millions.
  • Estate owner Gloria Fürstin von Thurn und Taxis continues to assert it was arson, a view that contrasts with the police assessment.
