Woman's body in Forstenrieder Park: Police are desperately looking for witnesses!

On Thursday, November 21, 2025, an unknown woman was discovered dead in a forest area near Munich. A walker found the body on a trail near a gravel path in Forstenrieder Park. The police nationwide are collecting information about the identity of the dead, which is still unclear. According to police spokesman Thomas Schelshorn, a violent crime could not be ruled out based on the situation in which the body was found.

The woman is estimated to be around 25 to 40 years old, is 174 cm tall, weighs 69 kg and has striking red-blond, slightly wavy hair that is around 40 cm long. The investigation was taken over by Commissariat 11 of the Munich Criminal Police, which is concentrating on solving the case. Around 200 officers searched the area in Forstenrieder Park on Friday morning.

Investigations and forensics

The forensics department is active in the surrounding area and has already secured numerous clues. The officers work in groups of 16 to 20 people and carefully search about five meters to the left and right of the paths. They focus on personal belongings of the dead, such as bags or items of clothing. It remains unclear how long the woman had been dead before she was discovered, as it is believed that the body did not remain undiscovered for long.

The police are asking the public for help. Witnesses who have made suspicious observations or can provide information about the identity of the body are asked to report to Commissariat 11 at the Munich Police Headquarters or any other police station. The search for further evidence is not expected to be completed immediately as officers continue to search for clues.

Security situation in Munich

The Munich police regularly carry out comprehensive investigations to solve crimes and their circumstances. The urban police crime statistics records crimes and misdemeanors, including attempted crimes. The Forstenrieder Park, where the body was found, is a frequently visited area for pedestrians and cyclists, which underlines the urgency of the investigation.

The woman's autopsy took place the night after she was found, but the results are not yet known. The experienced investigators from the K11 department are doing everything they can to clarify both the identity of the unknown woman and the exact circumstances of her death. The tragedy of this discovery raises concerns about security in the region.

The police are dependent on support for any information about this case. However, it remains to be seen how the coming days and the investigation will develop. The Munich police are determined to bring clarity to this mysterious and alarming case.
