Germany recorded more than 4,000 victims of right-wing, racist, or antisemitic violence in 2025, including at least 604 children and young people, according to the VBRG (Germany's national network of victim counselling centres for far-right, racist, and antisemitic violence). Attacks on political opponents reached a record high of 656 incidents — more than double the figure from 2023 — targeting party offices, campaign stalls, and youth clubs, with perpetrators increasingly invoking the far-right AfD party in their threats. Counselling centres warn that funding cuts have left them overwhelmed, likely increasing the number of unreported cases, while researchers say the data points to a gradual "normalisation" of far-right violence in everyday settings such as schools and workplaces.
