Overview
- Opferperspektive counted 290 right-wing, racist, antisemitic and queerphobic attacks in 2025, with 523 people affected, both the highest since the group began tracking.
- Official police statistics have not been released, and an SPD state lawmaker cited 98 right-wing violent crimes from Interior Ministry data, highlighting a sharp methodological gap.
- The NGO says its totals follow politically motivated crime categories but also include threats and coercion, which police do not classify as violent crimes.
- Hotspots were identified in North Brandenburg, led by Märkisch-Oderland (46 attacks), followed by Cottbus (38) and Oberhavel (23).
- Recent cases cited include attacks on a youth club in Senftenberg, a refugee shelter in Stahnsdorf and a pro-democracy rally in Bad Freienwalde, as the group calls for funding to protect counseling services after anti-discrimination advising ended due to lost federal support.
