Overview

• Ronney W., a roofing master in Sebnitz, published an apprenticeship advertisement in the city’s Grenzblatt bulletin with explicitly antisemitic and racist language.
• The ad barred applicants described using slurs, including 'Hakennasen,' 'Bimbos,' and 'Zeppelträger,' sparking widespread condemnation online and in the media.
• The City of Sebnitz has strongly condemned the ad as shameful and unacceptable, emphasizing that it had no prior knowledge of the content before publication.
• Criminal complaints have been filed against both Ronney W. and the Grenzblatt publisher, with investigations now underway.
• Andreas Büttner, Brandenburg’s anti-Semitism commissioner, labeled the incident as one of the most egregious examples of antisemitism and racism in recent memory.
