Right violence in Märkisch-Oderland: Alarming numbers continue to rise!
In the Märkisch-Oderland district, the number of right-wing motivated incidents rose to 384 in 2024, an increase of 83 compared to the previous year. These worrying developments were announced on July 4, 2025 by the advice center for victims of right -wing violence. The majority of the documented incidents are classified as propaganda, including right stickers and flyers with anti -democratic content. The eight attacks on people who were almost exclusively racist are particularly alarming and the increased potential for violence against minors and politically dissenters. Racism remains the main motive for this violence, with the highest risk for people who are perceived as non-white or non-German. People with different political views, alternative young people, politicians of democratic parties and queer people are also increasingly affected.
In particular, the Strausberg area and the S-Bahn line 5, which leads along the towns of Neuenhagen, Petershagen and Hoppegarten, are considered hotspots of right-wing violence. The incidents are also increasing in Bad Freienwalde and Müncheberg. The advice center urges to report to the population, smearings and swastikas, and emphasizes the need to strengthen civil society in order to counteract such social developments. Rbb24 reports on the alarming statistics and refers to the importance of not looking away.
concrete incidents and intimidation
The situation on site is underlined by a number of incidents that heavily strain the mood in the region. An incident from January 2024 shows that stickers from the right-wing extremist AfD youth organization "Junge Alternative" denounced the slogan "Remigration" at the old tax office in Bad Freienwalde. This organization is classified by the constitutional protection as secure right -wing extremist and only dissolved at the end of March 2025. But that's not the only incident: a Syrian employee of a petrol station was racistically insulted and attacked in February 2024, which also illustrates the tense situation. Nd aktuell emphasizes civil society that suffers from the pressure of such incidents.
general trends in right -wing extremism
A comprehensive insight into the increase in right -wing extremist violent acts provides the Federal Center for Political Education. In 2020, 23,604 right -wing extremists were counted nationwide, with the number of acts of violence from 986 to 1,092. A terrifying development that shows that the right -wing extremist threat in Germany is growing steadily. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution estimates that around 32,000 people in Germany are extremely extreme, of which 13,000 are considered to be violent. Bpb also informs about the multitude of hostility and attacks against political opponents that led to several mayors out of fear.
It is of great importance for open society to seriously conduct the fight against right -wing extremism and to mobilize civil society. The ongoing attacks and the aggressive rhetoric of right -wing extremist groups require a strong and united democratic forces in society. It is high time to tackle the conflict of social values.
