Mother threatens daughter: Police intervene in Eberswalde!

Mother threatens daughter: Police intervene in Eberswalde!

in Eberswalde, Barnim, on July 7, 2025 there was an alarming incident that attracted the attention of the police. A witness informed the officials at 5:30 p.m. about a worrying situation on Heegermühler Straße. A 17-year-old had fled to the apartment of a neighbor to escape threats from her 35-year-old mother. This incident is not the first of its kind, because in the past there have already been physical attacks on the youngsters.

The youth welfare office was immediately integrated into the matter to ensure the security of the 17-year-olds and to take appropriate measures to accommodate secure accommodation. The police initiated an investigation against the mother and expressed a ban on approach and contact. The Harnim inspection has now taken over the investigation to comprehensively clarify the incident. Unfortunately, such measures are not uncommon in Germany, because the numbers show that domestic violence is not limited to physical attacks. Psychological violence can have as serious consequences as the readers informed about mental violence.

A look at the background

In 2019, 141,792 people were victims of partnership violence in Germany, the majority of which referred to women. This shows tragic that even if such cases are serious as in Eberswalde, the number of unreported cases is probably much higher. In order to gain new knowledge about the situation, the Federal Criminal Police Office is planning a study with 22,000 people to be published in 2025. The focus of this study will be due to the experience with domestic violence as well as sexual and digital violence, as reported by the Federal Criminal Police.

further incidents in the region

In addition to the shattering incident in Eberswalde, another event caused a sensation. On the same day, the fire brigade and police were called to the Landsberger Chaussee near Kaufpark Eiche at 10:35 a.m. There burned an area of around 500 square meters that was cleared. The cause of the fire and possible parties are still the subject of the investigation.

In addition, an e-scooter was checked in Eberswalde during a traffic control in Fritz-Weineck-Straße, which drove without insurance protection. The 46-year-old driver is now faced with the suspicion of stealing and a violation of the compulsory insurance law, since the scooter may have been stolen.

The events in the region show that there are not only urgently needed help for victims of violence, but also an increasing number of alarming incidents that urgently need to be under control. The work of the youth welfare office and the police therefore remains indispensable in order to offer protection and support.
