The stakes, which measured 1.5 meters (5 feet) tall, were planted on the plot of land in the east German city of Erfurt, DPA news agency said, citing local law enforcement.
Half a pig’s head, pig feet, and pig bowels were placed on top of the stakes, at the site where the Ahmadiyya mosque is scheduled to be built.
Erfurt police said they are unaware who planted the stakes and the accompanying pig parts, adding that an investigation into the case has been launched.
There have been numerous rallies against the Ahmadiyya mosque, one of which included protesters erecting large Christian crosses on a neighboring piece of land.
The Ahmadiyya community is a Muslim movement founded in the late 19th century in India. It has the same legal status as the Christian church in Germany, DPA reports.
Pigs are considered unclean by Muslims, and have been used in various anti-Islam protests in Germany and elsewhere.
Earlier in May, a pig’s head bearing insults against German Chancellor Angela Merkel was left outside her office. Merkel has faced stiff opposition to her liberal immigration policies which allowed over 1.1 million, mainly Muslim refugees into the country last year. However, it remains unclear if the attack was in response to her policy on asylum seekers.
Last month, severed pig heads were found hanging on a fence outside the Moroccan ambassador’s residence in a Paris suburb.
In August 2016, a Hungarian MEP faced a barrage of criticism and bitter comments online after he suggested that severed pigs’ heads would be a great deterrent against refugees trying to get into the country.
The placement of pig’s heads and other parts of the animal’s carcass is considered highly offensive for Muslims, who abstain from consuming pork because the pig is considered an “impure” animal in Islam.

Why waste all that money? You could have made German sausages out of these heads. And the Mosque will be built anyway. – Like with all other Ahmadiyya Mosques, in due time, the neighbors will find out that in fact they will have good neighborly relations. I recall even that for instance the Berlin Mosque has a children’s playground on its premises – open to all neighbors. Highly appreciated too.
The news is alraming!
Ahmadis continue to spread the message of peace upon all the oppositions in world. We come to bring peace not hate we love all and hate non
