Schwerin Dreescher Markt: youth confrontation with injured people!
The Dreescher Markt in Schwerin was the scene of a physical altercation between two young men on Thursday evening around 7:45 p.m. As Bild reports, the police were alerted, but only met an 18-year-old from Schwerin who was found with minor injuries that did not require immediate treatment. The second person involved, an approximately 18-year-old man with dark hair, had already left. The criminal police have started an investigation into suspicion of bodily harm. Witnesses who can provide information about the incident are asked to call 0385/5180-2224 or email kk. Schwerin@polmv.de.
Ein ähnlicher Vorfall ereignete sich erst am Mittwoch am gleichen Ort. Damals waren mehrere Personen in eine körperliche Auseinandersetzung verwickelt, und es kamen mehrere Polizeiwagen zum Einsatz. Um 15:10 Uhr hatte sich die Gemengelage zugespitzt, wobei schließlich eine Person leicht verletzt ins Schweriner Klinikum gebracht wurde. Der mutmaßliche Täter wurde vor Ort gefasst und vorläufig festgenommen. As [Schwerin.news](https:// Schwerin.news/2025/10/08/groserer-polizeisatz-nach-korperlicher-auseinanderstellung-am-dreescher-markt/) reports, the dangerous bodily harm is being investigated.
A look at juvenile crime
The latest incidents highlight the increasing youth crime, which has reached worrying proportions in Germany. In 2024, a peak of around 13,800 cases was reached, more than twice as high as in 2016. According to Statista, the increase is particularly noticeable among young people between the ages of 14 and 17 and adolescents between the ages of 18 and 20. The reasons for this increase are complex. Psychological stress caused by Corona measures and the special risks for young people seeking protection play a role.
Over 70 percent of young suspects are male, and when it comes to punishments, 84 percent of those convicted under the age of 21 are men. These statistical data indicate an urgent need for action to combat youth violence. Not only harsher punishments in juvenile criminal law are being discussed, but also preventative measures. Experts are calling for prevention through child and youth welfare to be strengthened in order to interrupt criminal lives at an early stage.
The recent events at Dreescher Markt call on society to take action. Violence among young people is an issue that affects everyone and it is up to all of us to offer youth a better perspective.
