Many pennies make a dollar.

Parking meter heist: German worker accused of stealing €2M – German authorities charged two couples in separate cases: in Bavaria, a former municipal worker allegedly stole about €2 million from parking meters over the years; in Berlin, another couple is accused of stealing bronze statues and religious items from cemeteries and parks.

They’re not criminals…

They’re just young.

German crime statistics: false blame on migrants? Is it true that the crime rate in Germany is higher among immigrants? Statistics suggest as much, but numbers by themselves can be misleading. An expert explains what’s behind them.

“Non-Germans are, on average, significantly younger than Germans,” says the expert, adding: “Young men are a demographic group that frequently stand out for their involvement in criminal activity, not only in Germany but worldwide.”

German transgender far-right extremists are the worst

Maja Guil-T

Get it? Guilty spelled differently?

Because her, his, its name is Maja T.? I guess you had to be there.

Court in Hungary declares German anti-fascist Maja T. guilty – Maja T., a nonbinary anti-fascist activist from Germany, has been sentenced to eight years in prison in Budapest. The trial has been controversial and has political implications.

On Wednesday, a court in Hungary ruled that Maja T.*, an anti-fascist activist from the city of Jena in the eastern German state of Thuringia, was guilty of seriously injuring several suspected right-wing extremists in Budapest in February 2023. The attacks had apparently been directed at individuals thought to have participated in the annual “Day of Honor” rally of neo-Nazis from all over Europe, held in the Hungarian capital.

According to the indictment, the 25-year-old German was found guilty of attempted grievous bodily harm and participation in a criminal organization. The verdict is not yet final — it can still be appealed through Hungary’s judicial process.

Germany: Are we allowed to say we feel unsafe yet?

The Media Brain Police still haven’t given the official OK.

Germany: Survey shows every other person feels unsafe – The monthly Deutschlandtrend survey has looked into the debate about the perception of urban space in Germany. It found that the number of people who no longer feel safe in public has risen.

A statement on migration and public safety by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has been polarizing Germany for weeks. In mid-October, Merz said that the federal government is correcting previous failures in migration policy and making progress, “but of course we still have this problem with our “Stadtbild” [lit. cityscape, a reference to urban spaces], which is why the Federal Minister of the Interior is now working to make it possible to carry out repatriations on a very large scale.”

It’s well known that Germans are really into work-life-balance these days…

Prosecutors alleged that the man, who has not been publicly named, injected his mostly elderly patients with painkillers or sedatives in an effort to ease his workload during shifts overnight.

German of the day: Stadtbild

That means cityscape. And this word is apparently offensive to Germans.

To Germans who are in denial about violence, sexual or otherwise, being committed by… As I said, in denial.

‘Ask your daughters’: Merz defends his call for large-scale deportations – German chancellor accused of taking a page from extremist parties with ‘dangerous’ rhetoric on immigration…

Merz said his priority was “security in public space” and stressed that only if it could be guaranteed “will the [mainstream] political parties win back trust”.

He had drawn flak last week for remarks that critics said hinted that diversity itself was a problem in German cities: “Of course we still have this problem in the cityscape, and that is why the federal interior minister is now working to enable and carry out expulsions on a very large scale,” Merz said on a visit to Brandenburg state outside Berlin.

Super safe!

Germany is as safe as it can be (all things considered). So move along! Nothing to see here!

Crime statistics: How safe is life in Germany?

Cases of drug trafficking, knife crime and violence on the streets are frequently reported in the German media. But is crime on the rise? And how does Germany compare internationally?

“The new Germany” is “a shame, a travesty,” says Kurt Caz.

In a video, the South African-German travel blogger presents Frankfurt’s notorious Bahnhofsviertel neighborhood near the city’s main train station as the new normal, which has been “completely taken over by crime, illegal migrants and drugs.”
