Overview
- Police recorded 243 crimes against Jews plus 19 politically motivated crimes against Jewish institutions in 2025, totaling 262.
- The tally is slightly below the 276 offences logged in 2024, yet far above earlier years when annual counts were under 100.
- Antisemitism commissioner Andreas Büttner warns the hostility is open and increasingly aggressive after an arson attack and a Hamas symbol placed on his property in January.
- Civil-society monitors documented 484 antisemitic incidents last year, a 28.4% rise that includes conduct below criminal thresholds.
- Büttner and SPD lawmaker Andreas Noack urge consistent prosecution, clear motive attribution, more staffing for security agencies, closer work with Jewish communities, and stronger prevention in schools and online.
