New official figures expose the scale of Germany’s migration crisis: 934,553 foreign nationals with rejected asylum applications were living in the country as of October 31st, 2025. The numbers, released by the federal government in response to an Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) inquiry, show a renewed rise despite political promises to tighten control. In the summer of 2023, the figure stood at 896,065.
Germany is seeing another surge in violence against women committed by non-German suspects, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has reported.
Presenting the findings on Thursday, Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) said the trend “has been solidifying for years.” The BKA registered almost 266,000 victims of domestic violence last year, including more than 187,000 women and girls. That represents a 3.8% rise on the previous year and a 17.8% increase compared with 2022.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, the parties that claim to be the protectors of democracy—including the centrist CDU, the left-wing SPD, and the Greens—have ousted a democratically elected deputy mayor from office, simply because she represents the AfD.
Sabine Reinknecht was elected to this post in Bad Salzuflen exactly two weeks ago. This election was reversed today, on November 19th, following a city council meeting that saw the establishment groups team up against Germany’s rising opposition. “Democracy,” she said after the council vote, “was buried here today.”
She was democratically elected, has not done anything wrong but they exercised a clause which allows them to reverse a legitimate election result on a whim.
Is the Weihnachtsmarkt dying out? Magdeburg, the capital of Saxony-Anhalt, is the latest German city to cancel its Christmas market over security concerns. Last December, a Saudi psychiatrist and refugee named Taleb al-Abdulmohsen drove his car into crowds during the city’s festivities, killing six people. This year, there are fears that such an attack could be repeated and that the proper protections would not be in place.
Another reason to thank Muslims.
According to a recent report commissioned by trade association GCSP, offenses and aggression in German shopping centers are on the rise, with 75% of perpetrators identified as having a migration background. The GCSP warns that this trend is creating a sense of lack of safety among staff and customers, compounded by inconsistent law enforcement.
Last Saturday in Stuttgart, a 37-year-old Romanian man caught shoplifting attempted to punch a store detective and resisted arrest even after police arrived.
A man has gone on trial in Germany accused of carrying out an attack on a Christmas market in the eastern town of Magdeburg last December in which six people were killed and more than 300 others wounded.
The suspect is a doctor from Saudi Arabia who has been named as Taleb A., in line with German privacy laws.
He is accused of driving a rented BMW car at speeds of up to 48km/h (29mph) through the market in the centre of Magdeburg on 20 December 2024. If found guilty, he faces life imprisonment for murder.
In December 1989, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl declared, “Hungary knocked out the first brick of the Berlin Wall.” His remarks reveal the increasingly forgotten role Hungarian decision-makers and society played in the summer of 1989. It was Hungary that finally fulfilled what Ronald Reagan called for two years before when he proclaimed, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”. Yet, as the memory of that momentous year fades, its message remains relevant. The Berlin Wall may have fallen, but the divisions it once symbolised still run deep across Europe.
Germany’s interior ministry has sounded the alarm over a growing threat to members of the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), following a series of arson attacks and physical assaults carried out by far-left extremists.
In the latest incident, a car belonging to Bernd Baumann, the AfD’s parliamentary group leader, was set on fire outside his Hamburg home in the early hours of Monday morning. The blaze destroyed three nearby vehicles.
Last night the car of the AfD politician Dr. Bernd Baumann was set on fire outside his home.
3 other cars caught fire and were also destroyed.

The German Interior Ministry on Wednesday banned the group “Muslim Interaktiv,” which calls for a worldwide caliphate and rejects the democratic order enshrined in Germany’s constitution, the Basic Law.
A ministry press release described the association “Muslim Interaktiv” as “opposed to the constitutional order and the idea of international understanding,” adding: “The association will be dissolved. The assets of Muslim Interaktiv will be confiscated.”
The association views the Muslim community in Germany as a minority that is discriminated against and ostracized from society. Founded in 2020, authorities believe the group is affiliated with the Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) organization, which was banned in 2003 after promoting violence and the killing of Jewish people.
Several German towns have canceled their traditional Christmas markets this year, pointing to the mounting costs of new security requirements introduced after a series of terror attacks. Local organizers argue that they are unable to comply with the government’s anti-terror measures, such as installing barriers, setting up surveillance systems, and posting additional guards, all of which have become prerequisites for hosting public events.
In a sane country, it would be unthinkable that the murder of a two-year-old boy would go effectively unpunished. And yet this is exactly what is happening in Germany. In January this year, a 28-year-old Afghan asylum seeker—Enamullah Omarzai—launched a brutal attack on a group of toddlers on a daycare outing, at a park in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria. With a large kitchen knife, he began stabbing two of the children—a two-year-old Moroccan boy and a two-year-old Syrian girl. One of the female teachers, as well as two male passersby, attempted to intervene, allowing the remaining teacher and children to escape. In the struggle, one teacher had her hand broken, while the two men were stabbed. The little boy and a 41-year-old man both died from their injuries.
German authorities said a 22-year-old Syrian man was arrested in Berlin on Saturday on suspicion of preparing a “jihadi” attack.
The suspect was planning “a jihadi-motivated attack,” according to a spokesman for Berlin prosecutors. A unit of the police Special Task Force (SEK) had been deployed to take the man into custody.
German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the arrest showed “the terrorist threat in Germany, though often abstract, remains heightened.”
A man living in an asylum accommodation has been convicted by the Tübingen Regional Court for pushing a male acquaintance out of a window and raping him, an incident that was captured by a surveillance camera. The 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for aggravated assault and rape.
The incident date back to November 2024 in the city of Reutlingen and involved the 30-year-old man was drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana with the victim inside an asylum accommodation.

The number of Islamist crimes in Baden-Württemberg has more than tripled between 2020 and 2024, according to state government data obtained from a parliamentary inquiry by Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) representative Sandro Scheer.
In 2020, 39 crimes classified as “Islamism/Fundamentalism” were recorded in the state, rising to 105 in 2024.
Can you guess which demographic is “causing problems” in German cities?
Friedrich Merz, German chancellor and leader of the center-right CDU (Christian Democratic Union) party, has just spoken a simple truth about the effect on German society of the migrants, overwhelmingly Muslim, now living in Germany. What he said was, under the circumstances, most mild: he noted that those migrants have “caused problems,” especially in German cities. In response, many people, though by no means all, denounced Merz for speaking an obvious truth…
