Overview
- Flensburg prosecutors accuse the man of inciting hatred against Jews in Germany and violating their human dignity in a way likely to disturb public peace.
- The sign reading "Juden haben hier Hausverbot" hung in the window for about four hours until police arrived, according to the prosecution.
- Images of the notice spread widely on social media in mid-September, prompting a criminal complaint by state antisemitism commissioner Gerhard Ulrich.
- In questioning, the owner cited views related to the Gaza war to justify the sign and later said he should have differentiated between Jews' positions on the conflict.
- The Amtsgericht in Flensburg has not yet decided on admitting the indictment, which prosecutors say was lodged at the end of October.
