Overview

• Authorities logged 477 right‑wing extremist offences in 2024, up nearly 53 percent from 312, with propaganda the most common category and 17 violent crimes unchanged year over year.
• The right‑wing extremist milieu grew to about 370 people with roughly 10 percent assessed as violence‑oriented, while the Reichsbürger scene expanded to around 280 and the left‑wing scene held at about 250 with 65 deemed violence‑ready.
• Recorded antisemitic offences increased from 35 to 49, and officials stress these incidents occur across different political categories rather than being confined to the far right.
• The Islamist scene remained stable at roughly 430 individuals, with the Islamic State assessed as the key terror risk and the threat shifting toward lone actors and small groups; 18 Islamist‑motivated offences were counted after 12 the year before.
• Security services report more mobile, action‑oriented extremist organizing and warn of youth radicalization via online networks, as the agency adds about 10 posts to reach roughly 100 staff, including new IT experts and prevention work through the PuDiS network.
