QR codes have mysteriously appeared on more than 1,000 German graves and wooden crosses. The 5×3.5cm stickers were first spotted some days ago at three cemeteries in Munich, prompting a police investigation.
When scanned, the name of the person buried at the grave and its location comes up, but nothing else. ‘We haven’t found any pattern behind this yet,’ said police spokesperson Christian Drexler. ‘The stickers were put both on decades-old gravestones and very new graves that so far only have a wooden cross.
He added: ‘People who have witnessed anybody putting the stickers on the graves are asked to reach out to the respective cemetery’s administration. The stickers have been seen at Waldfriedhof, Sendlinger Friedhof and Friedhof Solln cemeteries. Police say the stickers have caused damage to some of the graves when removed, including discolouration, so the culprits could be liable for property damage.
