An 18-year-old vandal has been ordered to pay 1,500 euros to a local foundation after damaging public art sculptures in the German town of Rheda-Wiedenbrück. The case was resolved through a settlement agreement reached at the Rheda-Wiedenbrück District Court, according to local newspaper "Glocke."

The incident occurred in April of last year when the teenager attacked the "Alltagsmenschen" (Everyday People) sculptures, a public art installation in the town. During the vandalism, two sculptures were completely decapitated, causing significant damage to the artwork.

The court proceedings focused on the nature of the crime, with the act being classified as negligent rather than intentional. This legal distinction played a crucial role in determining the appropriate penalty and settlement terms for the case.

As part of the settlement agreement, the young perpetrator must pay the full compensation amount of 1,500 euros directly to the Burckhard-Kramer Foundation. The foundation is presumably connected to the maintenance or sponsorship of the public art installation that was damaged during the incident.
