An unknown assailant defaced the party headquarters of Germany’s conservative opposition party, the CDU, with graffiti, police said on Sunday.
According to a police statement, a security guard noticed a person wearing a balaclava around 3:30 a.m. (01:30 GMT).
The person is said to have scrawled red letters on the building in Berlin’s central Tiergarten district.
The slogan defaced on the party’s headquarters was said to be related to the conflict in the Middle East.
The Public Prosecution Service, responsible for politically motivated crimes, has taken over the investigation into material damage.
The perpetrator fled unrecognizable, it was said.
A CDU spokeswoman said the text had been masked off so that it was no longer visible. It would be removed on Monday.
