Unclad mariners disrupt peace at Lake Starnberg's memorial cross: a boisterous threesome of seafarers create chaos
In the serene waters of Lake Starnberg, an unusual incident occurred on Saturday, August 9th, 2025. Three individuals decided to take a swim near the memorial cross for King Ludwig II, who tragically met his end in these same waters under mysterious circumstances back in 1886.
The incident came to light due to complaints from onlookers who felt disturbed. The police have since been investigating the matter, following up on a tip regarding the identities of the three swimmers. However, no concrete information about their identities has been revealed yet.
The swimmers had secured their boat at the memorial cross before jumping into the lake. It was later discovered that the boat used by the individuals lacked an official registration number, which is a violation of navigation regulations. Furthermore, they were found to have used the auxiliary engine to leave the area, an action only permitted under certain conditions on Lake Starnberg.
The police have classified the action as a public nuisance, with a suspicion of a public nuisance offence related to the incident. Witnesses observed the incident and even managed to take photos, but when the police arrived, the swimmers had already disappeared.
This incident has sparked renewed interest in the death of King Ludwig II, with many myths and theories still surrounding his demise. The memorial cross on Lake Starnberg commemorates the Bavarian king, who was found lifeless on the shore of the lake after a walk with his doctor on 13th June 1886.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and further details may be released as new information becomes available from local news sources or official announcements from German authorities. Until then, the mystery surrounding the incident and the memory of King Ludwig II continue to captivate the public.
The police are investigating a public nuisance incident on Lake Starnberg, related to three unidentified swimmers who broke navigation regulations by using an unregistered boat with an auxiliary engine. Simultaneously, general-news outlets speculate about the potential connection between this crime-and-justice issue and the mysterious death of King Ludwig II, a famous sports figure whose memorial cross stands on the lake.
