Munich police investigate a mystery: more than 1,000 stickers have been put on tombstones and wooden crossings in three cemeteries of the German city, without any indication of their arrival or why.
The stickers of 1.95 per 1.2 inch are printed with a QR code, which, when digitized, shows the name of the person buried in the tomb and its location in the cemetery – but nothing else.
“We have not yet found a motif behind this. The stickers have been placed both on decades old tombstones and very new tombs which have so far has only one wooden cross,” said declared the police spokesman Christian Drexler on Wednesday to the Associated Press.

“People who saw anyone who would put the stickers on the graves is invited to reach out to the administration of the respective cemetery,” said Drexler.
The stickers have surfaced in recent days at the Waldfriedhof, Sendlinger Friedhof and Friedhof Solln Cemeteries.
Police try not only to discover who is behind the stickers, but also investigates material damage, because the tombstones were partially damaged and discolored when the stickers were removed.
