Mother threatens daughter: police intervene in Eberswalde!
An alarming incident occurred in Eberswalde, Barnim on July 7, 2025, which attracted the attention of the police. A witness informed officers at 5:30 p.m. of a worrying situation on Heegermühler Strasse. A 17-year-old had taken refuge in a neighbor's apartment to escape threats from her 35-year-old mother. This incident is not the first of its kind, as there have been physical attacks on the young person in the past.
The youth welfare office was immediately involved in the matter to ensure the safety of the 17-year-old and to initiate appropriate measures to ensure safe accommodation. The police initiated an investigation against the mother and issued a ban on approaching and contacting her. The criminal investigation department of the Barnim inspection has now taken over the investigation in order to fully clarify the incident. Unfortunately, such measures are not uncommon in Germany, because the figures show that domestic violence is not just limited to physical attacks. Psychological violence can have equally serious consequences, as [readers are informed about psychological violence](https://alle Answeren.de/was-macht-jugendamt-bei-haeuslicher-violent).
A look at the background
Domestic violence actually encompasses a wide range of violent acts between adult partners. These often move in a gray area that is not immediately perceived as “violence”, such as control, insults or preventing social contact. The police have the option of expelling violent partners from the apartment and can prohibit them from entering the apartment. This often happens without an application when it comes to averting danger.
In 2019, 141,792 people in Germany were victims of intimate partner violence, the majority of which were women. This tragically shows that even if cases like the one in Eberswalde are serious, the number of unreported cases is probably much higher. In order to gain new insights into the situation, the Federal Criminal Police Office is planning a study with 22,000 people, which will be published in 2025. The focus of this study will be on experiences with domestic violence as well as sexual and digital violence, as reported by the Federal Criminal Police Office.
More incidents in the region
In addition to the shocking incident in Eberswalde, another event caused a stir. On the same day, the fire department and police were called to Landsberger Chaussee near Kaufpark Eiche at 10:35 a.m. An area of around 500 square meters burned and was cleared. The cause of the fire and possible people involved are still under investigation.
In addition, an e-scooter that was driving without insurance was checked during a traffic stop on Fritz-Weineck-Straße in Eberswalde. The 46-year-old driver is now facing suspicion of receiving stolen property and violating the compulsory insurance law because the scooter may have been stolen.
The events in the region show that there is not only urgently needed help for victims of violence, but also an increasing number of alarming incidents that urgently need to be addressed. The work of the youth welfare office and the police therefore remains indispensable in order to offer those affected protection and support.
