Duisburg School Evacuated Following New Right-Wing Threat Email

The Max-Planck-Gymnasium was evacuated Thursday morning as police investigate potential links to earlier extremist threats that disrupted 20 local schools.

  • The Max-Planck-Gymnasium in Duisburg was evacuated on April 10, 2025, after receiving a threat email containing right-wing extremist content.
  • Police are investigating whether this latest incident is connected to earlier emails that led to the closure of 20 Duisburg schools earlier in the week.
  • The emails, described as containing 'subtly threatening and right-wing extremist language,' prompted heightened security measures at the affected schools.
  • The sender of earlier emails claimed the threats were intended to draw attention to perceived deficiencies in Germany's education system rather than incite violence.
  • Officials have criticized Duisburg school leadership for failing to adhere to emergency protocols, which may have exacerbated the disruptions.
