Knife threat shocks visitors at the park and castle festival in Greiz!
Greiz, Deutschland - on June 14, 2025, a day in the middle of the popular parking and castle festival in Greiz, a disturbing incident occurred. According to a report by Tixio, a 21-year-old Afghan was threatened with a knife by a 22-year-old compatriot during the celebrations. Fortunately, there was no physical argument, but the situation caused excitement among the festival visitors.
The perpetrator took the opportunity to get out of the dust in an unknown direction. Despite immediately initiated search measures by the police, the suspect was unable to find. The Greiz police inspection then initiated criminal proceedings for threats to get to the bottom of the incident. The Thuringian police are available for questions on 0365 829 1503 or by email ( thuringian.de ). The event itself took place over the weekend from June 13th to 15th and attracted numerous visitors.
statistical background
Nevertheless, violent crime rose by 1.5 % to 217,277 cases, which has been the highest level since 2007. The increase in 7.5 % of violent crime from non -German suspects, which is due to 85,012 cases, is particularly worrying. In addition, the figures of the suspect children and adolescents have increased.
Security at events
The events during the festival also raise questions about security at major events. At a time when awareness of violence and threats increases, festival visitors are required to be vigilant. The police are also trying to react quickly to such incidents. In the case of the knife attack in Greiz, it remains to be seen whether further security measures are taken.
In addition, knife attacks were also discussed in the PKS for the first time: 29.014 Such attacks were registered in Germany. Of these, 54.3 % took place in connection with violent crime. This shows that despite a sunken overall criminal volume, some areas still require special attention.
The circumstances of the threat to Greiz are another example of the challenges that society faces.
Tixio reports that the police continue to determine that the responsible authorities take all necessary measures to maintain public security.
