**Unraveling the Mystery of QR Codes on Munich Graves**
A perplexing case emerges as QR codes appear on gravestones in a Munich cemetery, prompting investigation by local authorities.
Recently, a unique phenomenon has captivated the attention of both city workers and residents in Munich as over 1,000 gravestones in a local cemetery were found adorned with white stickers featuring QR codes. The appearance of these stickers started late last year, leading cemetery managers to question their purpose. Bernd Hoerauf, who supervises cemetery operations, expressed his confusion, stating, “We thought, ‘What could be the sense of this kind of sticker?’”
Each sticker measures about 1 by 2 inches and includes a black QR code, along with a last name and a combination of letters and numbers. Interestingly, the presence of QR codes is not entirely unusual in cemeteries, as they can serve as digital memorials. Families have traditionally used them to link to photographs or digital keepsakes reflecting the memories of their loved ones. However, these codes are usually integrated into gravestones rather than being applied as stickers.
The unexpected sticker phenomena have stirred curiosity and concern among families and city officials alike. While QR codes installed as part of memorials have become a standard practice in various cemeteries worldwide, the stealthy placement of stickers on existing gravestones raises questions about intent. Authorities are currently investigating the origins of these QR codes and the messaging that may lie beneath them, striving to uncover the mystery behind this unusual occurrence.
