Münchener Theresienwiese, Deutschland - on June 7, 2025, around 8 p.m., a serious incident occurred on the Munich Theresienwiese when a woman attacked several passers -by with a knife and injured her.

The investigation into the exact circumstances of the incident was taken up by the Munich police. The crime scene was cordoned off far, while the Munich public prosecutor's office checked the legality of the police firearm use to ensure that all requirements were observed, such as fr.de reports .

background to knife attacks in Germany

The incident in Munich is in a worrying context, since the number of knife attacks in Germany has been increasing for years. In 2023, significant increase in Germany was determined: the number of cases rose by 9.7% in the "Dangerous and Severe Bodily Inventory" category and 16.6% in predatory offenses. Over the entire country, there was an increase of about 15% in almost all federal states in knife attacks, apart from a few exceptions such as Brandenburg, such as Media service Integration determined . .

Most suspects are men, with about 90% of the perpetrators over 21 years old. The proportion of non-German suspect is between 33% and 55% in the federal states that collect this data. This overrepresentation raises questions that could be associated with social factors such as poverty, educational inequality and violent masculinity standards. In this context, it should be noted that young people in particular with a migration background are less likely to carry a knife, but rather tend to do so, although an increase in the guideline of knives was observed, especially among young people.

social implications

The increasing violent crime, especially through knife attacks, is often discussed in the context of economic and social challenges. Factors such as the cancellation of Corona-related restrictions and the current inflationary situation could play a role. The complexity of the phenomenon of knife aggression requires a differentiated examination of the underlying causes, which are often based on social isolation experiences and psychological stress, especially with a disproportionate number of migrants among the suspect.
