CDU Office in Bonn Defaced with 'Cityscape' Comment - CDU Office Vandalized: 'Measure to Beautify' Graffiti Sparks Stadtbild Debate

The district office of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in Bonn was targeted by vandalism overnight, with graffiti reading 'Measure to beautify the urban landscape' sprayed on its entrance door. The Bonn police have launched a criminal investigation, treating the incident as politically motivated.

The graffiti appears to reference the ongoing debate over Germany's Stadtbild aesthetics, with Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) previously stating that there was an issue with the urban landscape, drawing both support and backlash. Nathanael Liminski, head of the North Rhine-Westphalia State Chancellery, urged unity against violence and destruction on social media platform X following the incident.

The CDU district office incident is being investigated as a politically motivated disturbance of public order. The graffiti, while provocative, has sparked further discussions about the ongoing Stadtbild debate in Germany.
