Police in Munich are investigating the appearance of over 1,000 small stickers bearing QR codes on gravestones at three cemeteries. The QR codes link to the name and location of the buried individual, but offer no further information. Authorities are seeking witnesses and investigating potential property damage caused by the sticker removal.
BERLIN — Police in Munich are investigating a mystery: More than 1,000 stickers were put on gravestones and wooden crosses at three cemeteries in the German city, without any indication of where they came from or why.
The 5x3.5-centimeter stickers are printed with a QR code, that, when scanned, shows the name of the person buried in the grave and its location in the cemetery — but nothing else.“We haven’t found any pattern behind this yet. The stickers were put both on decades-old gravestones and very new graves that so far only have a wooden cross,” police spokesperson Christian Drexler told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
“People who have witnessed anybody putting the stickers on the graves are asked to reach out to the respective cemetery’s administration,” Drexler said.The next four years will change America forever.
