Overview
- A nationwide civil-society report released on Wednesday documented 4,096 antimuslimische Vorfälle in 2025, up from 3,080 in 2024 and equivalent to roughly eleven recorded incidents per day.
- The 2025 tally includes 214 cases of bodily injury, four attempted murders, two killings and 61 attacks on mosques, showing an increase in severe violence as well as frequent verbal abuse and discrimination.
- CLAIM built its dataset from reports by 38 counselling and reporting centres in 15 states plus police press releases and media accounts, and says part of the rise reflects broader coverage while a large dark figure likely remains.
- Women were disproportionately affected where gender was recorded, with about 64–65 percent of victims female, and survivors warned that daily exclusion and dehumanizing rhetoric can escalate into lethal attacks, citing Hanau as a warning example.
- CLAIM is calling for a prompt relaunch of the National Action Plan against Racism, stable federal funding for civil monitoring and better state recording and prosecution, concerns that gain urgency as the federal 'Demokratie leben!' programme is being restructured and official counts from the Interior Ministry stand much lower at about 1,828 islamfeindliche Delikte.
