Thuringia: Frog King stolen from the Erfurt Christmas market

Erfurt (dpa/th) - The fairy tale character Frog King fell victim to thieves at the Erfurt Christmas market. The police in Erfurt said she disappeared early Sunday morning.

The frog prince was enthroned on a tree stump. According to the police, the perpetrators probably reached over the low fence and tore down the attached figure. It happens again and again that fairy tale characters are damaged or stolen in Erfurt.
