NEW ULM Flags once again wave over Schonlau Park near the Glockenspiel as of Thursday after a seven-week absence.
All flags were removed from Schonlau Park on March 19 following a wave of flag thefts from the site. The Ulm, Germany, flag, Neu Ulm, Germany, flag and the German national flag were stolen from the park sometime in early March. The Ulm and Neu Ulm flags are rare and difficult to replace. The city was able to replace the German national flag, but the replacement flag was also stolen less than 24 hours later.
In addition to stealing the flags, the rope system used to raise the flags was cut on two of the poles. In response to the thefts and destruction of property, the city had the remaining flags removed from the park until the flag thief was apprehended.
