Overview

• Lead prosecutor Stephanie Gropp told Schleswig-Holstein’s Interior and Legal Committee that the probe is close to completion after the suspect admitted posting the sign.
• Prosecutors’ initial legal view classifies the act as “friedenstörende Hetze,” supporting suspicion of Volksverhetzung under German criminal law.
• The poster declared a house ban on Jews in the shop, which authorities assess as capable of stoking hatred against Jewish people in Germany.
• Police found a Reichskriegsflagge and an RAF flag at the premises, which prosecutors noted are not criminal symbols unlike the antisemitic notice.
• Interior Minister Sabine Sütterlin-Waack condemned antisemitic efforts during the hearing and affirmed they have no place in society.
