Reach out to us! - We located your wedding ring amidst the compost, Tanja.

The District Administrator Bernd Obst (53, CSU) and Managing Director Johann Peter (40) were meant to educate students about environmental matters, but a revelation by Herman Cortés (35) altered the course of events. Herman came across an unfamiliar item in the compost: a golden and steel wedding band.

Cortés shared that annually, their plant receives close to 32,000 tons of organic waste – food scraps, leaves, and tree branches are characteristic yet peculiar finds include printers, purses, handbags, and even a vibrator, but a wedding ring hadn't crossed their path until now.

Johann Peter responded quickly by uploading the wedding ring onto the district's Facebook page and wrote, "Is this yours?" The post also contained pictures of the ring.

This ring was found among compost

Internet users explore the possible scenarios

Curiosity got the best of internet users who started to explore potential reasons for the presence of the ring in the compost. Some proposed the ring might have fallen off accidentally, while others speculated deliberately: "It's possible the ring was tossed there on purpose if its owner no longer wanted it." Among various comments, one read, "I hope this ring doesn't have a finger or anything else attached."

Both employees hope that the engagement/wedding ring was unintentionally misplaced and venture a positive resolution to this tale.

The wedding ring could be picked up from the compost facility at Deberndorfer Straße 52 between Monday to Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
