Lol, in german, boars are called "wild pigs" (Wildschweine), but the terms for females and offspring are different.
Domestic pigs are "Sau" (Sow) and "Ferkel"
Boars are "Bache" (female) and "Frischlinge" (piglets, litterally "freshlings")
"Eber" is the same for both kinds of male pigs, but a large male boar is called a "Keiler".
A group of adult boars is a "Rotte".
That's about my hunter's latin
But if you live close to forrests in Frankfurt, you can expect to run into boars.
Best course of action is to ignore them, they're usually quite shy.
The whole incident took place in Schwanheim, which is close to the city forrest and a natural preserve called the Schwanheim dunes.
Essentially suburbia stuck between the forrest, the dunes and a waste processing plant
A few km further west, in Rüsselsheim, a whole Rotte of about 6 rampaged across "downtown" (not really) Rüsselsheim until police cornered them in a parking lot.
What followed was an exercise in being german:
Police called hunters. Hunters refused to hunt boars because their hunting permit only allows them to hunt in the wild, but not in forrests.
Police agrees. Hunters want to give the police their hunting rifles, but police refuses on the ground that they are only permitted to use the weapons prescriped in Hesse state police law, which do not include hunting rifles. Sniper rifles are allowed but a SEK (SWAT) team is not on hand.
Hunters go away, Police break out the MP5s.
150 rounds of auto fire later, all 6 boars are dead and some dozen cars have new holes in them.
