Overview
- Cemetery staff closed Südfriedhof after multiple visitors reported a wild boar inside the grounds but kept funerals and burials running under restricted access.
- Administrators say the animal has been calm and stayed within a fenced section without damaging graves.
- The hunting leaseholder (Jagdpächterin) holds the authority to decide capture or removal and has not yet announced a course of action.
- Managers plan to inspect and repair the perimeter fence for possible entry points and will put up signs telling visitors how to behave around the animal.
- City officials note recurring boar sightings in Nuremberg and say a more damaging incident in Neukatzwang weeks earlier is likely unrelated due to the distance between sites.
