Has Cologne’s popular funfair escaped a terrorist attack?
Three terror suspects arrested in North Rhine-Westphalia in July 2023 were spying on the Deutz funfair in the cathedral city as a possible target for an attack! This is according to reports from the Federal Criminal Police Office, which the newspaper Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger was able to read.
Undercover investigators shadowed several men belonging to the terrorist organisation “Islamic State” on Easter Monday 2023. They tested numerous rides at the funfair and photographed the surrounding area.

One of the suspects raised his index finger in the so-called “tauhid gesture”, which is frequently used by Islamists, during a ride on a carousel.
The Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Dutch judiciary had the nine people belonging to the “Islamic State” in the Afghan province of Khorasan (ISPK) arrested in North Rhine-Westphalia and the Netherlands in July 2023.
Investigators are certain that the terror suspects, most of whom came from Tajikistan, visited the Deutz funfair “to clarify whether it was a suitable location for an attack”.
Explosive: The group was in contact with the men allegedly involved in the plans to attack Cologne Cathedral on New Year’s Eve.
