KJust before the attack on art objects in various museums on Berlin’s Museum Island, according to a report, there was a similar attack in Potsdam. Two weeks before the Berlin incident, strangers attacked the sculpture of an Amazon by sculptor Louis Tuaillon (1862-1919) at the Cecilienhof Palace, “Die Zeit” and Deutschlandfunk reported Thursday based on a joint investigation.

Traces of an oily liquid are said to have spread from the neck of the horse the warrior is sitting on to her thigh. More traces were found in other rooms.

At first, no one could be contacted at the Foundation responsible for the Prussian Palaces and Gardens in Berlin-Brandenburg. According to the Potsdam police, there was no use at the Cecilienhof Palace during the corresponding period. But that does not rule out a subsequent criminal complaint. Information on this was no longer possible on Thursday night.

On October 3, strangers damaged more than 60 objects with a liquid in four houses of three Berlin museums. The New Museum, the Pergamon Museum and the Old National Gallery were affected. The background is unclear. In late October, a large granite bowl was smeared in the recreation garden in front of the Altes Museum.

There was already a case of vandalism at the Wewelsburg district museum in North Rhine-Westphalia in the summer. In mid-July, employees discovered that around fifty objects had been damaged by an oily liquid.
