The situation as a whole can be viewed in a larger context. According to the police crime statistics (PKS) for Munich, which were presented on Monday, the city ranks first among large German cities for the 49th time in a row. The frequency of crimes per 100,000 inhabitants fell by 1.1% to 5,871. This is interpreted as a sign that “Living in Munich means living safely,” said Police Chief Thomas Hampel. Despite this encouraging trend, there has been an increase in car theft and pickpocketing, which is a cause for concern sueddeutsche.de.
A large number of incidents were recorded during the 311,517 operations carried out by the Munich police last year. The most common reasons: traffic delays and minor traffic accidents. In total there were 100,330 cases initiated, a decrease of 1,200 or 1.2%. But while crime rates are falling in some areas, the issue of violent crime remains a concern, with a 2.5% increase in 2024, particularly for serious physical injuries.
The city of Munich remains in the public eye, both in terms of its security situation and in solving crimes, and the police encourage citizens to help fight crime.
