Overview
- The window notice stated “Juden haben hier Hausverbot” with a line denying antisemitism, and was posted by 60‑year‑old shop owner Hans‑Velten Reisch at his secondhand and gothic goods store.
- The Flensburg public prosecutor opened an investigation on suspicion of Volksverhetzung, citing potential disturbance of public peace and the demeaning of Jews, and seized the sign as evidence.
- Police visited the premises after multiple complaints and ordered the sign removed on Wednesday evening for danger prevention.
- Reisch links his action to anger over events in Gaza and rejects antisemitism allegations, later describing the note as a private statement he would not repeat in that form.
- Federal and state officials, including antisemitism commissioner Felix Klein, condemned the act, and the storefront was later defaced with “Nazis raus” graffiti and stickers.
