On August 26, 2025, a fire broke out in Hofstattstraße, Reutlingen, as reported by several residents. The incident, which occurred around 1:15 AM, started in a waste container and spread to a garage of an adjacent house, with pallets stored near the garage also appearing to have been set on fire.

The Public Prosecutor's Office Tübingen, the Criminal Investigation Department, and the Police Station Reutlingen have launched an investigation into the incident. The police have arrested a 36-year-old suspect in connection with the fire.
