burglary crime in Germany

Unfortunately, this incident is not an isolated case, but is part of the worrying statistics of burglary crime in Germany. According to an analysis of Statista, there were around 119,000 burglaries in 2023, of which approx. 77,800 are classified as violent burglaries. The clarification rate for these offenses was only 14.9%, which shows how difficult it is to make the perpetrators down.

Especially urban areas seem to have a higher risk. The highest burglary scenarios can be found in cities such as Mülheim an der Ruhr, while rural regions - as in Bavaria - are much more secure. These developments illustrate that burglary thefts not only cause material damage, but also affect the security feeling of the citizens.

The crime statistics also show an increasing tendency to burglaries after corona pandemic, which has given many people in the country a feeling of uncertainty. With further sensational cases, such as that in Kötzschau, the hope that the cooperation between the police and the population will soon be more security. So it is only to be hoped that the perpetrators will be quickly caught and that the citizens in Leuna will make a faster return to normal.
