The police discovered weapons, ammunition and Nazi memorabilia during a search of an apartment in Fuldatal. The 40-year-old resident is being investigated for violations of the War Weapons Control Act and the Weapons Act, the public prosecutor's office and police in Kassel announced on Thursday.
The weapons found during the search in early February included a total of 25 firearms, 18 knives, seven daggers and machetes, three axes and a crossbow. There were also various magazines for firearms and live ammunition. The functionality of individual weapons is currently being checked.
The investigators had previously received an anonymous tip that the man allegedly illegally owned weapons and had made right-wing extremist statements.
