Figures from the Federal Police for 2025 show that foreign suspects are severely overrepresented in violent crimes at train stations and in sexual crimes, with Alternative for Germany (AfD) leader Alice Weidel stating that the statistics show that violence is only growing worse in Germany.
Specifically, the data shows there were 27,800 violent crimes in German train stations and on trains in 2025, a slight increase from the already very high 27,160 cases in 2024. The data also shows that 44 percent of all of these cases involved a foreigner in 2025, a slight decrease from the 46 percent recorded in 2024.
However, the data does not disclose how many of the German suspects have a migration background, as it does in Denmark, where it shows that Danish citizens with a migration background have even higher rates of criminality than the first-generation foreigners. Every year, more migrants are granted German citizenship, and many second- and third-generation migrants are committing crimes that are being recorded as “German,” making it difficult to parse the data. Nevertheless, the figures as they are already astounding, with foreigners vastly overrepresented.
AfD leader Weidel took to X to decry the rise in violence on German public transport.
“In 2025, the Federal Police recorded 27,819 violent crimes at train stations, with foreign suspects being significantly overrepresented, particularly in cases of sexual offenses and knife crimes. Under CDU leadership, the situation in Germany is worsening day by day. Only the AfD can provide a remedy,” she wrote.

— Alice Weidel (@Alice_Weidel) June 1, 2026When panning out just a few years, it also reveals that violent crime in train stations has almost doubled. In 2020, there were only 16,327 violent crimes. At the time, the proportion of foreign suspects was at 42 percent.
The main crime areas were Dortmund, Berlin, and Leipzig.
In 2025, there were around 2,200 sexual offenses at train stations in Germany as well. For this category, foreign suspects were eight times more likely to be represented among the suspects than their share of the total population would be.

Violence against police officers was also used in 5,660 cases.
In the list of train stations most affected by violence, both Dortmund and Berlin appear in the top positions in 2024 and 2025, according to Apollo News. Dortmund led the 2024 table with 764 violent crimes, followed by Berlin and Munich. In 2025, Leipzig led with 859 violent crimes, followed by Dortmund with 735 cases and Berlin with 654 crimes.

— Remix News & Views (@RMXnews) May 12, 2026The solution for the mainstream parties is not remigration but more oppressive surveillance measures aimed at the entire population. Both the domestic policy spokesman of the SPD parliamentary group and the deputy parliamentary group leader of the Union (CDU/CSU) parliamentary group speak in favor of modern camera technology. For example, SPD politician Sebastian Fiedler recommends AI software that detects atypical movement patterns, with the data then “anonymized.”

— Remix News & Views (@RMXnews) February 24, 2026The Greens criticize the fact that federal police officers are used for “expensive, useless, and illegal border controls“ instead of working at train stations. Notably, the Greens completely gloss over the huge number of foreigners involved in these serious crimes, which necessitates border security in the first place.
The AfD is instead calling for more deportations, harsher sentencing, and increased resources for law enforcement. Notably, Weidel responded to the riots over the weekend in France with one simple word: “Remigration.”
