Investigators are probing whether the same people who damaged the rail track also left the flag.

"Since the beginning of the investigation, several pieces of evidence have been secured", police said.

Due to the damage to the tracks, train traffic was temporarily disrupted.

According to Deutsche Welle, in October, similar incidents occurred in Nuremberg and Munich, where unknown attackers pulled a steel wire across tracks for high-speed trains.
