Demolition work in Eggarten stopped after an arson of excavators
About three weeks ago, demolition work for a new housing estate began in the Munich garden city of Eggarten. The idyllic site used to be home not only to bats and an old forests, but also offered shelter to the homeless and was popular with the residents.
After six houses had already been demolished, on Thursday, February 10, 2022, the demolition came to an unexpected halt: at about 3:40 a.m., the cops noticed that two of the excavators set up for the demolition were ablaze. The fire brigade arrived on the scene and extinguished the fires, however one of the excavators was seriously damaged and the other one is completely destroyed and must now be removed with a crane. The damage amounts to around 150,000 euros and it is not be possible to say when the demolition work will continue.
