The number of recorded antisemitic offenses nearly doubled from 2,641 in 2022 to 5,154 in 2023, highlighting a significant escalation.

Klein warned that antisemitism is becoming normalized in Germany, with hatred towards Jews increasingly expressed openly within society.

The persistent high levels of antisemitic incidents from 2023 into 2024 underscore the urgent need for societal and governmental action.

Despite a slight decrease in reported incidents from 5,274 in 2023 to 5,177 in the previous year, the ongoing trend indicates that antisemitic offenses remain a significant concern.

Felix Klein, the Federal Government's antisemitism commissioner, noted a significant rise in antisemitic sentiments following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

In 2024, Germany reported over 5,100 antisemitic crimes, continuing a troubling trend of rising antisemitism.

Additionally, 941 offenses were linked to 'foreign ideology', with 44 offenses attributed to the left-wing spectrum, including four violent acts.

Petra Pau, a member of the Left Party and Vice President of the Bundestag, described the current statistics as alarming and emphasized the prevalence of antisemitic ideologies within right-wing extremist structures.

Pau called for increased funding and planning for education and prevention projects to combat the alarming rise in antisemitic incidents.

Preliminary data from the Federal Ministry of the Interior indicates that 4,506 antisemitic offenses were registered in 2024, with numbers expected to rise due to late reports from the fourth quarter.

For the last three months of 2024, 671 antisemitic incidents were recorded, contributing to the overall increase.

Among the reported antisemitic crimes, 1,165 were classified as politically motivated from the right wing, including 29 violent acts, indicating a deep-rooted antisemitic ideology.
