Overview
- Kiel's Staatsschutz has opened an investigation under §111 of the German Criminal Code into a mid‑double‑digit number of antisemitic posters that police say encouraged criminal acts.
- Police registered the first complaint on May 8 and received nine further reports, prompting a Sammelverfahren that groups the related cases into one proceeding.
- The posters published names, faces and alleged home addresses and included explicit calls for violence aimed at a Zebra colleague and other people who oppose antisemitism.
- Zebra and regional politicians from the CDU and the Greens condemned the campaign, called for solidarity and support for the victims, and police say no arrests or identified suspects have been announced.
- The coverage places the incident in a broader rise in antisemitic and racially charged threats since October 2023 and notes that doxxing raises immediate safety risks for civic actors while §111 targets public calls to commit crimes.
