Two Inscriptions on the Facade Base
According to the Landespolizeiinspektion Jena, the incidents apparently occurred at different times. Already during the past week, the perpetrators applied several stickers to the building, which, according to the police, had defamatory content. In the night from Saturday to yesterday, Sunday, the unknown individuals expanded the vandalism: they additionally defaced the base of the office’s facade with two inscriptions.
The criminal police have begun the investigation and the evaluation of evidence at the building. Residents or passers-by who observed suspicious persons in the vicinity of Saalbahnhofstraße during the night in question or in the days prior are asked to contact the police.
Background: Vandalism at Party Offices
Saalbahnhofstraße is a central and heavily frequented axis that runs directly along the edge of the Damenviertel towards Jena-Nord. Property damage to constituency and party offices is generally taken very seriously by the investigative authorities. Since an extremist motive cannot be ruled out in cases of targeted graffiti and the sticking of defamatory content on political institutions, it is routinely checked in such cases whether the state security police (Staatsschutz) will take over the investigation. Affected parties usually consistently file charges.
