Woman's body found in parking lot: Police investigate, Rock am Ring starts!
On June 6, 2025, a gruesome crime overshadowed the festive mood in Rhineland-Palatinate. The body of a 28-year-old woman was found in a parking lot between Hermeskeil and Nonnweiler. The police assume a crime and have identified a 34-year-old acquaintance of the deceased as an urgent suspect. The man is currently on the run, which poses major challenges for investigators. According to tagesschau.de, the exact circumstances of the death are still unclear and are being investigated in detail by the police.
While the investigation into this shocking discovery continues, there is a big event coming up in the region: “Rock am Ring” is celebrating its 40th anniversary at the Nürburgring today. With around 90,000 visitors expected, the festival is one of the highlights of the music year. The opening will take place at 1:30 p.m. and will be accompanied by a “Very Special Guest”.

Sporty highlight and political gift
Aside from the tragic incident and the music event, sport also attracts attention. In the Football Nations League, Spain beat France 5-4 in an exciting semi-final, while Germany was eliminated 1-2 by Portugal in the other semi-final. Germany will face France in the game for third place on Saturday, while Spain and Portugal will meet in the final, as tagesschau.de reports.
As part of the political agenda, Chancellor Friedrich Merz presented Donald Trump with a calligraphed version of his grandfather's birth certificate. Trump's grandfather was born in Kallstadt in 1869 and later emigrated to the USA. This symbolic gift underlines the connections between Germany and the USA and is seen as a sign of appreciation.
Weather and other events
The weather in Rhineland-Palatinate is changeable on the Pentecost weekend. According to the reporting from tagesschau.de, clouds, wind and rain are initially expected, with temperatures between 16 degrees at higher altitudes and up to 23 Degree on the Rhine. Thunderstorms are also possible.
In addition to the “Rock am Ring”, the inauguration of the “Forsthof Annweiler”, a center for wood and natural products, will take place in Annweiler. The 51st “Open Ohr Festival” in Mainz at the Citadel also invites exchange and reflection under the motto “defensive democracy”.
