Born in the '90s.
In the Upper Palatinate region of Germany, a diverse range of events have been making headlines recently.
A former Bundeswehr soldier from the Hof region is facing serious charges. The 30-year-old, who fought voluntarily on the Ukrainian side in the war, was arrested in Ukraine in early 2025 and is now in pre-trial detention. He is accused of multiple rapes, possession of child pornography, and was found with weapons and ammunition during a 2022 search. The investigators believe that he may have had multiple victims.
In a completely different story, the German military has invested 95 million euros in its Weiden base. The funds will be used for new office and storage buildings, halls, and accommodations for soldiers.
The 1990s were a time of popular plush toys, and Diddl mice were among them. These mice, known for their large feet and notepads, were a common sight. Diddl sheets with golden print were considered rare. Another popular toy from the same era was Polly Pocket, a miniature toy set of Cinderella's castle and accessories.
Anne Wiesnet, a collector from the region, had a large collection of Diddl mice and other 90s toys like Polly Pocket and Benjamin Blümchen cassettes. Benjamin Blümchen was a popular character from cassette tapes in the 90s.
The rise of the internet in the 2000s brought about increased digital communication, but it also led to potential financial issues. A trio is suspected of stealing a five-figure sum during cleaning jobs.
Unfortunately, not all news from the region is positive. A patient is suspected of raping a woman at a clinic in Bayern, and a truck was involved in an accident in the A93 construction zone near Teublitz on Saturday morning.
