Arson in Magstadt: Cardboard ignites the facade of a restaurant
On the night of October 23, 2025, an arson incident occurred in Magstadt that caused excitement among residents. At around 12:15 a.m., unknown perpetrators set fire to a cardboard box filled with clothing that was placed against the wall of a closed restaurant on Maichinger Strasse. The flames were noticed by an alert resident who quickly responded with a fire extinguisher and successfully extinguished the fire. However, the heat caused damage to the building's facade, the exact height of which is currently unknown.
The Maichingen police station has asked for information from witnesses. People who can help clarify the incident are asked to call 0 70 31 / 2 04 05-0 or via email to sindelfingen.prev@polizei.bwl.de. Such incidents are not new in the region and the police post is hoping for support from the public.
Previous incidents in Magstadt
Three hours later, the fire brigade had to be called out again because a 100 liter paper bin belonging to the same resident was on fire. Since other incidents, such as damage to a residual waste bin with a lighter, could potentially point to the same perpetrator, the police suggested a connection between these fires and the incident on October 23rd. The problem of arson is not insignificant in a nationwide context. According to a study by the Federal Criminal Police Office, a steadily increasing number of cases of arson were recorded between 2013 and 2024. These statistics, last published on April 2, 2025, show that arson is considered a serious threat to public safety. Further information and details on the cases recorded are available online at Statista. The local police and fire brigade are working closely together to counteract the increase in arson in Magstadt and the surrounding area. The hope is that by reporting and working with the population, potential perpetrators can be caught and citizens' sense of security can be strengthened. The authorities are always available to answer further questions and information in order to ensure citizens’ safety and protection in the future.Statistical backgrounds
