Islamist Crimes Reach Record High in Baden-Württemberg
31st October 2025
(Why don’t they just call it Swabia? That’s what it was historically.)
The number of Islamist crimes in Baden-Württemberg has more than tripled between 2020 and 2024, according to state government data obtained from a parliamentary inquiry by Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) representative Sandro Scheer.
In 2020, 39 crimes classified as “Islamism/Fundamentalism” were recorded in the state, rising to 105 in 2024.
The increase was particularly sharp in 2023 and 2024. Incidents involving the threat of serious crimes—including murder, manslaughter, sexual coercion, and rape—rose from three in 2020 to 35 last year. Property damage also increased, with 16 cases in 2023 compared to only four in 2021. Two homicides and three assaults were reported in 2024, marking some of the highest numbers in five years.
