Krampus parade in Hohenthurn: 15-year-old injured and admitted to the LKH Villach

On Saturday evening, a Krampus parade took place in Hohenthurn, a tranquil location in the Villach-Land district. Such moves are a traditional event in the region, in which masked figures, the Krampuses, pull through the streets and create a festive atmosphere. But during the move, an incident occurred that clouded the celebrations.

around 7:00 p.m., when the mostly happy and exciting moves reached their peak, an unsightly incident occurred. A previously unknown viewer took one of the characteristic elements of the Krampuss-the horns of a mask-which a 15-year-old participant wore, and shook them with all his might. Due to these jerky movements, the young person injured himself uncomfortably and had to be brought to the LKH Villach for further treatment.

unknown perpetrator and his escape

The unknown attacker, who not only noticed through his actions, but also due to his subsequent escape, has not yet been identified. This has led to some concern, since the incident questions both the safety of the participants and the general well -being of the audience. The police investigate the incident and avoid similar situations in the future.

The 15-year-old's injuries are described as an indefinite degree. The incident not only put the young people concerned, but also the entire event in another light. While such traditional events usually convey a feeling of community and joy, the question remains how such behaviors can be dealt with in the future. It remains to be seen which measures are taken on the part of the organizers to ensure security for future moves.

First feedback indicates that many of those present are shocked by what was happening. Such incidents are usually not part of the experience associated with the Krampus parades. Many visitors appreciate the opportunity to enjoy the traditional customs and the festive atmosphere in a safe environment. The hope is now great that the 15-year-old will soon be completely recovered and that such unpleasant events can be avoided in the future.
