Overview

• Provisional figures show 42,303 incidents from January to June, counted when treatment was required or fatalities occurred.
• Cyclists made up about 43% of cases, compared with roughly 11% involving car occupants and 9% pedestrians.
• Older pupils aged 10–18 were most affected, whereas primary-school children had fewer incidents due to shorter, simpler routes.
• Risk varied by region, from 6.4 accidents per 1,000 insured in Niedersachsen to 3.2 in Berlin.
• A DGUV/Forsa survey highlights missing bike lanes and unmarked crossings as key hazards, frequent dangers linked to parent drop-offs, and support for Tempo‑30 zones, school‑route plans and designated drop‑off points.
