Germany Logs 899 Antisemitic Offences in Q2 2025, a Year-Over-Year Increase

Police figures remain preliminary pending later updates.

Overview

  • Police recorded 899 antisemitic offences from April to June 2025, up from 715 in the same quarter of 2024.
  • Officers attributed 451 cases to the right‑wing extremist spectrum and 322 to what they classify as foreign ideology.
  • Authorities reported 15 people sustained minor injuries in incidents recorded during the quarter.
  • Left party lawmaker Clara Bünger called current protections insufficient and cautioned against branding legitimate protests as antisemitic.
  • Bünger also criticized portraying antisemitism as an imported problem addressed by expulsions, arguing this downplays its European roots.
