The discovery of the artillery piece and additional weaponry took place on Wednesday. According to a police spokesperson speaking to BR on Friday, the search was triggered by an ongoing investigation into the 33-year-old property owner.
Firearms and Ammunition Seized
In addition to the cannon, which likely dates back to the 19th century, law enforcement officers seized various air pistols, combat firearms, and several hundred rounds of ammunition. Preliminary reports indicate that the 33-year-old man did not possess the required weapons permits.

The cannon appears to be in working order, though this circumstance requires further expert verification. At this time, authorities have no information linking the suspect to the “Reichsbürger” movement. The man is currently under investigation for violations of both the Weapons Act and the Explosives Act. The police are conducting the investigation in cooperation with the public prosecutor’s office.Source: BR
