I have moved into an appartment 6 months ago. I wanted to paint the appartment but due to being super busy, I kept postponing it. Now, that I have the time, I was assessing the walls to see what I will need. However, I came across this part where I saw shallow written in the platster. I did not understand what does it mean, but it looks suspicious. Should I be worried, and what should I do?

Have you been experiencing anything paranormal? Or falling sick or having dreams?

I dont understand why you should be worried? Do you think you did that yourself?
I would let your landlord know, if it’s in the hallway they might be able to know who did it.. and get em for property damage.
Definite racial targeting..
Are you in Germany? Indeed I would read there „undankbar drecks- Volk“ which is (random) hate speech. There might have been somebody very angry or discriminating but personally I would not worry
Oh yeah, very worried.
I believe it says “Undankbare Drecksau”.
The Expression could be used in many contexts from threatening a neighbour who keeps dirtying the hallway that you clean to scolding your kid that keeps dirtying their things (although that would be a very harsh tone). No idea how it got there, could be a joke from a long time ago or somebody frustrated with a super dirty flatmate taking their frustrations out on a wall.
Seems like someone was trying to complain about anyone else.
Ignore it and put wallpapers over it, alternatively get some “Acryll” or “Füllspachtel”, fill it up and smoothen it and paint it like the rest of the wall.
I think the only logical explanation is that the previous tenant carved that. Maybe they were angry at the landlord yk. I don‘t think that sb broke into your appartement to write some hate speech at your wall.
Please always!!! take photos of any damages and protocol everything before moving in and talk it all through with the landlord. That way you cannot be held accountable for damages done by the previous tenant 🙂 at least that‘s what i and all my friends do everytime we move!
