Berlin Prosecutors Probe Homophobic Harassment Tied to Rütli School as First Case Concludes

The victim reports solid backing from law enforcement, citing slow and limited action by the school administration.

Overview

  • Prosecutors confirmed investigations for insult and stalking against one identified student and several unknown suspects connected to the Rütli campus.
  • The first case against a student has been completed without public disclosure of the outcome, while a second case continues.
  • Authorities say the remaining suspects very likely also come from the student body following initial inquiries by the state security unit for hate crime.
  • The victim describes months of late-night calls, abusive messages, and a slur-filled letter between August and December 2024 after students found his address online.
  • The school administration declined detailed comment due to ongoing proceedings and jurisdiction limits regarding spouses, noting the campus’s established pedagogical framework as the 2006 legacy remains a reference point.
