Vandalism in Bützow: Miniaturstadt should now be monitored!

Bützow, Deutschland - A shocking incident shaked the small community of Bützow. On the last weekend in April, strangers in the miniature city, which reproduces the historic old town of Bützow between 1850 and 1910, committed massive vandalism. Doors and windows were destroyed by 15 model houses, including iconic buildings such as the castle and the town hall. The prepared property damage amounts to over 10,000 euros, and the repair costs could even double, such as nordkurier.de reported.

The miniature city comprises a total of 154 buildings in 1:10 scale, and some of the damaged model houses have been affected so much that they need to be completely rebuilt. The repair work is already in full swing, but must be done by hand because there are no finished spare parts. Just two specialists are currently available to cope with this demanding task. Work could continue until September, which means that the second largest leisure facility Bützow could be restricted for a long time, as to ndr.de

committed support for the reconstruction

Birgit Czarschka, the managing director of the miniature city support association, is optimistic despite the difficult situation and relies on the support of the community. So far, 7,000 euros have already been received for the reconstruction, including 234 euros from the senior advisory board. Mirko Flora, chairman of the senior advisory board, reports that many seniors are emotionally affected and willingly donated. The German Red Cross also participated and made a sum of 300 euros available. However, Czarschka emphasizes that these amounts are not sufficient to cover the complete damage and apalate to the citizens for additional support.

The association is planning several events for the coming months to generate further donations. Czarschka Klein-Bützow is represented at the MV day in Greifswald to collect even more support. But not only the miniature city itself needs help; The collegiate church in Bützow also faces a financial challenge that affects all windows that need to be renovated.

Future -oriented measures for security

To prevent future vandalism, a surveillance system is integrated into the miniature city. The total costs for the reconstruction and installation of the surveillance system are estimated at around 20,000 euros. In the course of these measures, the municipality hopes that such incidents can be avoided with better security in the future. Many citizens and employees are horrified by the destruction and resemble the situation of a tornado that also caused serious damage in the region around ten years ago, so mopo.de .

In a time when community and cohesion are more than ever asked, it remains to be hoped that the miniature city of Bützow will soon shine again in new splendor and that the citizens will soon be able to fully enjoy their leisure attraction.
