Berlin (CNN) — An armed man is holding several people hostage in the German city of Ingolstadt, police said Monday.

The hostage taker did not make any immediate demands from the city’s Old Town Hall, police spokesman Guenther Beck said.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is scheduled to give an election speech Monday afternoon in Ingolstadt, with the Prime Minister of Bavaria Horst Seehofer (CSU).

“As far as I know, this has nothing to do with her visit,” Beck said.
