A church was set on fire in Germany

On November 3, an unidentified individual ignited items inside the Twelve Apostles Church in Mannheim, causing flames to spread to the carpet and a wooden table.

 

Fortunately, the fire was quickly contained and did not extend further into the church. However, damages are estimated to exceed 1,000 euros.

A vigilant caretaker noticed the fire early and managed to extinguish it, preventing it from causing more extensive harm to the building.

Police reported discovering remnants of a candle used by the perpetrator to ignite brochures and informational leaflets at the scene. The church was open to the public when the incident occurred, and authorities are now calling for witnesses to come forward.
