In brief
Cemetery authorities are left baffled, prompting a police investigation into the strange occurrences.
In a Munich cemetery, a curious sight has emerged: over 1,000 gravestones are marked with white stickers displaying QR codes. These unusual stickers first appeared late last year, leaving cemetery officials and locals puzzled. "It’s really strange,” shared Bernd Hoerauf, who oversees the city's cemeteries. The QR codes typically feature a last name along with a mix of letters and numbers.Although QR codes are commonplace for memorials, they are typically engraved directly on headstones or mounted as durable metal plaques. In contrast, the sudden influx of temporary stickers is raising questions. They are reminiscent of supermarket items and seem to lack the permanence associated with memorialization.Munich cemeteries allow digital uploads to commemorate loved ones via QR codes, linking to online tributes. However, the proliferation of these random stickers has prompted a police investigation to uncover their origin and purpose. As the mystery unfolds, locals are left wondering what these QR codes could mean and who is behind this unusual tribute.
