Right-wing extremist slogans and bottle throwing: police are looking for witnesses in Munich
In the early morning hours of December 20, 2025, the Munich police became aware of a worrying situation on Schellingstrasse. At around 1 a.m., several men from a group of about ten uttered right-wing extremist slogans and gave the Hitler salute in the direction of a group of four passers-by. The incident immediately caught the attention of passers-by, who immediately informed the police emergency number 110. But the perpetrators, all between 18 and 25 years old and dressed in bomber jackets, were able to quickly get away from the crime scene before the police arrived. Despite a large-scale manhunt, the identity of the people responsible remained unknown. all-in.de reports.
In addition to this incident, another shocking event occurred on the same day in the middle of Munich's political landscape. In Berg am Laim, around 9:25 a.m., an unknown cyclist showed local political representatives the middle finger, insulted them verbally and spat in front of the information stand where politicians were distributing information to citizens. Here too, the perpetrator escaped undetected and the search efforts have so far produced no results. Press Augsburg informed.
A worrying trend
The events of December 20 are not isolated. Statistics show that right-wing crimes in Germany, particularly those with a xenophobic background, have increased in recent years. From 2014 to 2024, an increasing trend in politically motivated crimes was observed. According to an analysis by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Criminal Police Office, right-wing extremist acts of violence are particularly worrying, which puts the current events in Munich in an alarming context. Statista has published the statistics.
The incident in Maxvorstadt makes it clear that such attacks are not just an urban problem; they demonstrate a larger societal concern. The police have now commissioned Commissariat 44 to investigate and are asking the public for information about the men who were near Schellingstrasse and Ludwigstrasse at the time in question. Anyone who saw or heard anything should contact the police on 089/2910-0.
Another incident on the evening of December 20th shows another face of the problem. Two men who were chanting National Socialist slogans were arrested in a restaurant on Marienplatz. However, they were released after a blood sample was taken and are now facing charges for using unconstitutional license plates. These events shine a stark light on the challenges facing police and society alike. all-in.de summarizes the situation.
The city of Munich is therefore not only confronted with individual cases, but is also faced with the task of assessing the social mood and finding solutions together to prevent a further increase in right-wing extremism. These events come at a time when citizens are being asked to keep an eye on what is going on in their surroundings and to actively speak out against any form of right-wing thought.
