Weimar, March 26, 2026. The Landespolizeiinspektion Jena has issued a public search for 15-year-old Leonie Pihan from Weimar. The teenager left her residential group in the morning and her current whereabouts are unknown. The police urgently request the public’s assistance.
- Name of the missing person: Leonie Pihan (15 years old)

- Special features: Possesses a Deutschlandticket, possible lead to Köln

Disappeared on the way to internship
According to authorities, the teenager left her residential group, located in the Nördliche Innenstadt of Weimar, in the morning. She was scheduled to participate in a practical day at a local nursing home. However, she never arrived there. When she also failed to return to her facility in the evening, she was reported missing.
An important detail for the search: Leonie has a Deutschlandticket. This allows her uncomplicated, nationwide mobility in local and regional transport. According to initial police findings, leads suggest she could be in the Köln area (there is a typo in the official report, which was stated as „Kölm“).
Editor’s note: In the original police report, the date of disappearance is given as 18.08.2026. This is clearly an official typo; most likely, March 18 is meant.
Background: Searching for missing teenagers
The Landespolizeiinspektion (LPI) Jena, whose area of responsibility includes the city of Weimar and the Weimarer Land in addition to the city of Jena and the Saale-Holzland-Kreis, immediately initiates extensive search measures for missing minors. Since teenagers today are highly connected and mobile across regions through offers like the Deutschlandticket, the search radius in such cases expands very quickly to the entire federal territory.
The police work closely with transport companies, the Bundespolizei at train stations, and youth welfare institutions. Citizens who believe they have seen a missing person on public transport should always note the exact time, the train or tram line, and the direction of travel, and immediately call the emergency number.
