Police Probe Fires, Fatal Crashes and a Market Shooting Across Germany

Authorities say forensic reviews and witness accounts will determine causes and accountability across the cases.

Overview

  • Bavarian police are verifying an anonymous Indymedia claim of arson in the Jagdschloss Thiergarten blaze while an appointed expert examines all possible causes of the low single‑digit million‑euro loss.
  • A large carpentry business in Münsing burned overnight, causing several million euros in damage and prompting evacuations, with the Kriminalpolizei investigating the origin of the fire.
  • In Mittenwald, a 46‑year‑old suspect is in pretrial detention on urgent arson suspicion after a garage fire, with forensic findings cited by police to support the case.
  • On the A7 near Bollingstedt, investigators are assessing whether a permitted, brightly lit bridge demonstration distracted drivers before a crash that killed a woman and shut the highway for hours.
  • On the A1 near Sittensen, a 58‑year‑old died after a collision triggered by a vehicle that fled the scene, and Autobahnpolizei are urgently seeking witnesses as the inquiry continues.
