Berlin State Security Seeks Witnesses in 2025 Attempted Attack on Leftist Bar

Police now ask the public for recordings, information to help identify the masked cyclists.

Overview

  • Berlin’s Staatsschutz (LKA) issued a public appeal for witnesses, requesting photos, video and tips related to the case.
  • The inquiry concerns a May 29, 2025 incident at Fischladen on Rigaer Straße in Friedrichshain, where masked individuals reportedly tried to force entry.
  • Witnesses said the group carried hammers and batons, was kept from entering, tore down a banner, then fled by bicycle toward Warschauer Straße.
  • Suspicion of right‑wing extremist involvement stems from a Telegram post by the small party Der Dritte Weg showing men on bicycles with party flyers over their faces.
  • Visual analysis linked the party’s photo to Platz der Vereinten Nationen near the scene, while the investigation remains open with no arrests or confirmed attribution.
