The German capital Berlin, often held up as a multicultural oasis, saw knife crime reach a record 10-year high in 2023 in tandem with a nationwide increase in Muslim immigration. Overall, violent crime hit a 10-year-high as well in 2023, according to Berlin police data.
REMIX News (h/t Marvin W) Knives are a popular weapon of choice in Berlin, where they are mainly used in assaults and robberies. The police recorded a total of 3,550 knife crimes. That means in Berlin alone, there were nearly 10 knife crimes a day. As Remix News has reported in the past, there were approximately 50 knife crimes in Germany on a daily basis as of 2020; however, as the statistics in Berlin show, this number may have already risen.
Crime data from Berlin shows a vast overrepresentation of foreigners in knife attacks, violent crimes, rape, and murder. In 2017, Berliner Morgenpost reported that nearly half of all crime suspects in Berlin were foreigners (mainly Muslim), a number highly disproportionate to their share of the population. As of 2019, half of all prisoners in Berlin were now foreigners. Meanwhile, Berlin’s immigrant population continues to soar higher, reaching a record high in 2023.
The crime data comes at a time when the left-liberal government is attempting to lobby for an increase in immigration, arguing that it makes society more “diverse” and improves German citizens’ standard of living. However, exploding social welfare costs for immigrants, chaos in the German school system, and a stunning increase in violence and rape have led to a strong majority of the German public now telling pollsters that migrants bring more problems than benefits. The same polling shows that Germans want an end to mass immigration.
As Remix News has previously reported, as the German school system becomes more diverse, it has caused serious problems for both teachers and the student body, with German PISA test scores crashing. As educators describe, the increase in diversity has led in many cases to open conflicts between students and more violence directed at teachers and administrators.
The police also note that violence has risen a whopping 50 percent in refugee shelters, while the number of migrants in these shelters has jumped 21 percent. Berlin has struggled to accommodate an influx of refugees and migrants this year; it is estimated to spend a minimum of €1.5 million a day accommodating migrants in just 12 different buildings, with the total coming to nearly half a billion every year.

The AfD has been promoting its policy on “remigration” as of late, but focusing primarily on migrants convicted of crimes, whom Germany has been unable to remove. However, although there are hundreds of thousands of migrants who are “tolerated” in Germany, the figure of millions presented by Springer would represent a far loftier goal in terms of deportations.
In a statement earlier this week, the AfD detailed a long list of offenses involving migrants during New Year’s celebrations, including the case of three migrants knocking a doctor unconscious on video in a Berlin hospital, a 20-year-old Somali beating a woman with a fire extinguisher on a train near Schwetzingen, and a Ukrainian migrant hitting a 46-year-old with a bottle in Bad Lippspringe.
“Everyday life in the ‘colorful republic,’ Such everyday conditions are shocking and make it clear: 2024 must be the year of remigration! Anyone who vandalizes restaurants and train stations, attacks doctors, or riots on trains has no place here and must be deported immediately. Action must finally be taken,” wrote the AfD in its statement.
Springer’s message on deportation comes at a time when the AfD just hit a record high of 24 percent in a new national poll from YouGov, a poll result once thought unthinkable by most just a year ago.
However, the political establishment in Germany is attempting to ban AfD as a political entity entirely, ludicrously, in the name of ‘protecting democracy,’ even as support for the right-wing party continues to grow.
If the AfD were to come to power and enact such a program, it would mark a sharp turn from the left-liberal government’s open border policy and plans to naturalize millions of foreigners. The party may have strong support from the German public for such a policy, however, as polling shows a strong majority of Germans believe that migrants bring more problems than benefits and want a pause on immigration.
Hartmut says
While illegal mass immigration most certainly is a huge cesspit for taxpayers’ money, the economic crisis which has befallen the country is predominantly due to cut of fossil fuels from Russia, shutdown of the safest nuclear plants on the planet, over-taxing and over-regulation of the economy and overall citizens’ lives.
And as their predecessor Merkel the administration is firmly set to continue the destructive path at all cost. They know the media and police superintendents (not the low ranks) firmly behind them, that’s all they need.

Wipe out the Jews, bring in the Muslims.
Payback’s a b**ch!
PanamaPat says
Th e economic problems are directly related to the economic sanctions against Russia, Germany needs Russia’s cheap energy and resources. How is it that Germany can tolerate that the USA attacked it when they blew up Nordstream? As for the Muslims the best way to get rid of them is to provide some economic benefit to assist them on their return to their native countries. It would be far less expensive to pay them to return than to keep them with all the attendant welfare and crime costs.

How can it be, well heres the answer. Germany is and will stay a occupied country. That is why germany has to do all that the winners say especially the USA, obama told us that in berlin in 2009 so that all can hear it. Germanys problem is that the marxist and green commy have taken over our gov. we have judges that until they became the judges seat they where being watched by exactly this institute where she is now a judge. The march through the institutions is what they called it and yes they are succesfull in this and the outcome we see allover our country and to say or do anything about it will get you fined or jailed. Germanys government has been usurped by the left and as all know the socialist will never give up power freely or peacefully.

Havent you heard the latest. the AFD had a meeting and it was discussed how to bring the invaders out of our country and the media here says that the AFD wants to send germans with migration roots too, what is not true what they want is the many given passes for free without work or even to speak the german language but to want the sharia here or a kahlifat, well that is ok but to want them out of your country is nazi so what do all think will happen very soon.
