Between August 26 and 27, 2025, a series of malicious damage incidents were reported in Lübeck and Lensahn. The incidents involved the affixing of stickers from the Hamburger Sport-Verein (HSV) fan club onto traffic signs.
The initial investigation was initiated on August 29, 2025, regarding the malicious damage of traffic signs in Lensahn. Stickers were found at a roundabout on the Lübeck road and at the Bredenfeldstraße. Reports from residents suggest that the HSV fan stickers were placed on the traffic signs during the night from August 26 to 27, 2025.
As the investigation progressed, it was discovered that several traffic signs on the Eutiner Straße, Bäderstraße, and Dieselstraße had also been adorned with stickers. The stickers in question are believed to be irreversibly damaging to the traffic sign coating.
