Recorded Offences at Berlin Outdoor Pools Edge Up to 181, Police Say

Pool operators describe the season as largely disturbance-free under tighter checks.

Overview

  • Police logged 181 offences at outdoor pools between April 1 and September 15, compared with 160 in the same 2024 period.
  • The tally includes 34 violent and coercive offences with 24 bodily-harm cases, along with six sexual offences.
  • Officers recorded 31 trespass violations and 74 thefts, including 10 bicycle thefts among the more serious cases.
  • Authorities caution that totals can change due to case reclassification and that weather influences incident counts.
  • Berliner Bäder-Betriebe reported roughly 760,000 visitors through July, fewer than last year, and plan a full season review in October.
