Police Probe Claim After Fire Guts Thurn und Taxis Hunting Lodge

An Indymedia post by a self-described Antifa cell is under review by police.

Overview

  • The Jagdschloss Thiergarten near Regensburg was largely destroyed in a blaze on the night of October 5–6, leaving mostly exterior walls.
  • Police say damage is in the low single-digit millions, with one report citing about €4 million, and no injuries were reported.
  • Investigators have commissioned a forensic expert and state that technical fault, negligence, or deliberate arson remain possible.
  • An anonymous group calling itself "Kommando Georg Elser" posted a statement on Indymedia claiming responsibility and describing multiple ignition devices.
  • The post frames the act as a warning to Gloria von Thurn und Taxis and includes threats of further attacks, which authorities have not verified.
