Overview

• Investigators report four rainbow flags have been stolen from the same family's mast since early 2024, with no suspects identified so far.
• Residents plan a short, village-wide show of solidarity through the weekend, beginning with a Friday evening kickoff where flags are distributed.
• The effort is organized by farmer Helmut Evers with the loose regional group Bündnis Bauern gegen Rechts to support the affected family.
• Participants intend to take the flags down on Sunday after a concentrated display, and a local shop pre-ordered 50 flags that are largely sold.
• Some locals express hesitation or safety concerns about flying the flag, and reporters note a similar theft case in nearby Wesendorf two years ago.
